Novia celebró su matrimonio 18 horas antes de morir de cáncer

Earned her wings! One of my dearest friends got married this past Friday, December 22nd, to the man of her dreams. She had been battling stage 4 cancer and it had spread all throughout her body, but she was determined to marry her soul mate. Less than 24 hours later her spirit flew from her body and ascended to be with God. I am in awe of the strength Dave's love inspired in Heather even in her last hours. She was his great love and he was hers. Heather, I miss and love you more than I can say. Thank you for sharing this life's journey with me. ❤️

Hay historias de amor que resultan ser sumamente impactantes. Y todo porque en muchas ocasiones, hay quienes están dispuestos a ir al límite por sus parejas.

Este parece ser el caso de David Mosher, quien tras dos años de noviazgo decidió proponerle matrimonio a Heather Lindsay.

Mosher prefirió esperar para hacer la propuesta luego de una cita al médico. En la revisión, a su novia le fue diagnosticado un agresivo cáncer de mama que se había extendido a los ganglios linfáticos.

Sin embargo, mantuvo en firme su propuesta de matrimonio, la cual su novia la aceptó sin dudarlo.

Aunque era un momento muy difícil, David y Heather acordaron trabajar duro en su tratamiento y casarse el 30 de diciembre de 2017.

Aunque los galenos hicieron todo por acabar con el cáncer, la enfermedad de Lindsay avanzó rápidamente a los pulmones y su cerebro. Los médicos entonces decidieron comunicarle a la pareja que difícilmente viviría hasta el 30 de diciembre. En ese orden de ideas, tomaron la decisión de adelantar la boda.

La ceremonia se registró en la capilla del hospital Saint Francis en Hartford (Estados Unidos), donde la mujer estaba siendo tratada.

Habían transcurrido apenas 18 horas después de la ceremonia cuando Heather falleció. El velorio y entierro de la mujer se registró el pasado el sábado, justo el día que estaba prevista la boda.

Standing in front of everyone in the chapel, I was hesitant to pull out my camera. As someone who wanted nothing more than to see my friend truly happy, I felt I had to capture these images, which by this point I knew were her final moments with us. What you clearly see here is two people who were destined to be joined as one. A love like no other captured for all to see. My gift to her.

Heather chose to spend her last hours celebrating surrounded by people she loved and who loved her. How do I know God is real? Because He was filling her with joy despite the fact that outwardly her body was failing. She chose to let God carry her, instead of wasting her last hours angry at him for allowing this illness. And carry her he did. He carried her home.

Heather's mother, Linda Lindsay, poured out light, love and support on Heather and all of us who were there with her. The amount of strength her mom showed could only be possible because of her unwavering faith in God, despite the certainty she would lose her only daughter on this earth. Her outpouring of selfless love reminded me of Heather's reaction to tragedy in other's lives. Heather has shown me this same care when I was in a very dark and hopeless place. She learned this language of love from her family and was able to comfort others in this same way. Like mother like daughter. Missing you this Christmas morning, Heather, but I know you are celebrating with the one who gives us the real joy and peace of the Christmas season. Sing and dance with the angels for me today. Merry Christmas my dear friend!
