A Reddit user, whose parents (married for 48 years) have been both diagnosed with cancer, posted a tear-jerking image of them hugging along with the caption: \u201cMy father has been hospitalized with complications from treatment for esophageal cancer since Friday. My mother is in the middle of chemo for gallbladder cancer and hasn\u2019t been able to visit him because the hospital is too dangerous for her. Today his doctor let him meet her in the courtyard.\u201d<\/span>\"\"<\/span>Photo: Reddit<\/a><\/span>
\n<\/span>\u201cI fully got into bed and held my phone sobbing when I got this. Simultaneously so happy and so devastated. Honestly, it\u2019s been a really rough few days and then I got that photo and thought \u201cthe world is terrifying and horrible things happen but also THIS still exists.\u201d<\/span>The thread inspired other users to open up about their own struggles with cancer: \u201cThis is simultaneously sweet and devastating. I\u2019ve lost a few loved ones to cancer, but I\u2019ve got survivors in my family too. Fu*k cancer. Hope you and yours pull through. While another wrote: My only real advice is to take a lot of pictures and videos where she can hear her voice. My family was all about \u201cliving in the moment\u201d and you hear people complain often about people \u201cwatching life thru a screen\u201d but now we barely have any pictures and literally not a single video or voice recording. Whenever I see a picture of them I\u2019ve never seen it truly guts me, but in a good way like wow they did exist and there\u2019s proof!\u201d<\/span>The Reddit user<\/a> who posted the image responded to the comments: \u201cThank you. They\u2019ve been married 48 years and they aren\u2019t perfect but dammit, the hardest part of this last week has been my mother feeling like she\u2019s falling down on the job by not being at his side. It is a cruel and brutal part of this whole fu*king thing that guts me. Photographic evidence that love is real and exists even in the most horrible moment.\u201d<\/span>
