Joven con cáncer cumplió el sueño de casarse con el amor de su vida un día antes de morir

Heather Mosher y su novio David son un ejemplo claro de que el amor verdadero está en las buenas, pero aún más en las malas.

My beautiful friend, I know you are near. I wanted everyone to see some of these photos of you I took which were never shared publicly. Your smile! It embodies you. The most genuine and striking girl who I was lucky enough to be close to. This is how I'll always remember you. You are my shining star.

De acuerdo con Independent, la joven comenzó a sentir un extraño bulto en uno de sus pechos,el 23 de diciembre del 2016 le diagnosticaron cáncer de mama y ese mismo día, David decidió proponerle matrimonio.

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.

El matrimonio estaba planeado para el 30 de diciembre de este año. Sin embargo, la salud de Heather iba empeorando cada vez más, pero David nunca la abandonó. Los médicos le explicaron que el cáncer era muy agresivo y por esa razón debían hacerle un fuerte tratamiento para combatirlo. El tumor le afectó el cerebro y también la tuvieron que entubar para que pudiera respirar, pero la enfermedad seguía avanzando, sin darle mucha esperanza de vida.

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.

Los días pasaban para esta joven, quien luchó hasta el último segundo, y la fecha del matrimonio se iba acercando, pero los médicos estaban casi seguros que ella no podía aguantar tanto tiempo. Así que la pareja decidió adelantar una semana la ceremonia.

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!

Con un hermoso vestido blanco, un ramo de flores y la alegría de haber encontrado el amor verdadero, acompañaron a Heather en su unión con David este 22 de diciembre.

La ceremonia fue en el hospital en el que se encontraba la joven, contaron con la presencia de sus amigos más cercanos y como en todos los matrimonios, la torta y las palabras no pudieron faltar. Sin embargo, 18 horas después de este emocionante suceso, el diagnostico de los especialistas se cumplió: Heather falleció. “Sus últimas palabras fueron sus votos”, dijo una de las damas de honor.

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. I pray these moments give Dave the same strength now to carry on the legacy of their love. Heather, you are greatly missed. The earth froze yesterday as the warmth of your light ascended to be with God for eternity. Until we meet again my dear friend. Watch over us. Original post from 12/24/17.

“La tierra se congeló ayer cuando el calor de tu luz ascendió para estar con Dios por la eternidad”, expresó su amiga Christina Lee, quien se encargó de inmortalizar el momento más importante de la vida de la joven y su pareja.

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.

Of all the photos this one breaks my heart the most. He was longing to have a chance to build a life with his bride, but knew she had to say goodbye. He wished more than anything to take her pain away. But knew the only way her pain would end, was if her body finally gave up the precious life within. I cry as I write these words.
