Source – Dustin Snyder knows that he may have only days left to live.
For the past year and a half, the 19-year-old has been battling a rare form of cancer called synovial sarcoma — undergoing treatments to remove the tumours and keep them from coming back, only to watch them return and ravage his body.
Several weeks ago, doctors told him he had weeks to live. So he turned to the person who had been beside him through it all — and he asked her to spend the rest of that time with him.
“I love her. She’s been there for me through this whole process,” Snyder said about his high school sweetheart, Sierra Siverio. Seeming to labour during a short phone interview Friday afternoon with The Washington Post, Snyder said that Siverio “means the world to me. I wouldn’t be able to get through any of this without her.”
So, he said, he made it official — treating her to dinner Thursday night, presenting her with roses and popping that special question.
Snyder asked her to marry him.
Siverio, of course, said yes.
“She’s the woman I want to spend the rest of my life with,” he said.
I’m normally anti-marriage but these two are relationship goals, and they both get out of it at the same time.
Don’t freak out.
Dustin gets the short end of the stick. He’s gonna die, and he knows it, and the cancer isn’t painless on the way out either. He’s been in love with his girl since the sixth grade so let er buck kid.
When it’s over her life goes on, and every mother wants her son to marry this young lady, and she will be known forever as the girl that married a guy with terminal cancer.
Alls well that ends well. Except for my man Dustin. God Speed sir and let’s hope you live long enough to enjoy the wedding night.
