My husband and I have been together over eighteen years now. I can remember telling him that. He thought it cute and we every now and then laugh about it. At those times that we notice it happened.
I always enjoyed listening to him talk, and thought that I could just spend the rest of my life hearing the sound of his voice.
Through out the years, esp. when he became a grouchy ole man I found myself wishing he would shut up. You know just stop complaining about everything. Be still for a moment. But my wish was "shut up"
The past couple months he has had trouble with his voice. Finally went to the doctor and, well the news isn't good. He has a nintyeight percent chance that it's cancer. He will have a couple more tests to confirm it but we are pretty sure that it is.
I wished him to shut up for a few years now. I don't think I have that long to wish the cancer away.

Hi. tjburcham. I am very sorry about this happening to your husband. But you will have to remember that you can't possibly blame yourself for why your husband may have Cancer. You did not wish for him to have Cancer, you only wished that he would shut up. It is not your fault at all. It is just a case of a mere coincidence. Don't blame yourself for something that you did not cause at all. It is not your fault at all.

Thank you so much for your kindness. We looked up his type of cancer on line. Basically it said that everything he had done in life including his age can cause it. He had a wild life, and worked in hazardous places. Concidering it all, he is lucky that he lived as long as he has and he has had good health through it all. He has a good chance of making it through this also.

We feel sorry to heard in from you. Sometimes really we had wishes that we never think what's the consequence if it will happened. Maybe a coincidence happened to your husband, i am really sad to hear it from you. Really the lesson for that one is that, in every things we wish we will have, we must think first about we really what to have. Your Mylots family will be praying for your husband. Just don't lost hope. Everything has a purpose.

Yes, what a lesson. I knew from experience that wishes do come true and usually not exactly what you had in mind. His chance of coming through this is good.

hello,
Sorry to hear about your husband's condition.
Don't blame yourself...it's just coincidence.
No one ever wished for our loved ones to have some illness or health problem.
Let's hope everything will be fine at your end..
have a great weekend

hello,
I am sorry for that, but don't you think it is too late to wish again? It is a bad idea wishing something that we really meant for, because if it will come true we wanted to wish again for heal something but that's what we wish for right? now suffer from what you wish. that is the fact there. right?. I am also like that when my mom keep on shouting at me, I wish her to shut up but I don't like to come up that she will die for my wish or suffer from my wish.
good luck
I will pray for you
