"Given just a few months to live by his doctors in August, Ken McHugh got busy, putting the wheels in motion for a plan he’d dreamed of fulfilling ever since he was diagnosed with stage-4 pancreatic cancer five years ago: walking his kids down the aisle, since he won’t be able to be present whenever their future weddings take place.
And on Oct. 3, in their hometown of Chester Springs, Penn., the former international businessman, 47, fulfilled his dream. Celebrating what the McHughs called a “family wedding,” Ken walked his four teenagers — daughters Samantha, 19; Julia, 15; and Kathryn, 14; and son, Dylan, 17 — to the altar, where he then renewed his own vows with his wife of 20 years, Tammy. It was a touching and painful tribute to the family’s love, for better and for worse. "
Dying Dad Fulfills Final Wish By Walking Children Down the Aisle
You have come to the right place, and we are glad you are here. This is a safe place to share stories of love and loss, devastating grief, exhausting care-giving, memorials, advanced directives, mourning, hope, and despair. We want to hear about about what you wish you had known or done differently, what you wish those around you had known or done differently, and what went right. We will never tell you to move on or find closure. "What cannot be said will be wept." Sappho
