It was, truly, a match made in Heaven.
When Paul and Becky, two Northwest Michigan high schoolers, met for the first time at a dance, they knew immediately that they would marry. As young marrieds, they faced hard decisions about money, morals, and faith. They also produced six amazing sons, and always a joyful home to raise them in.
But the truest test of Paul and Becky's bond came when Becky was diagnosed with stage IV breast cancer. What followed in the weeks, months, and years after is a story sure to inspire - about the bravery and selflessness of a woman, the steadfast support of a man, and the knowledge that love and God's love conquer all.
"Love your spouse as if today was his or her last day on Earth. One day it will be, and on that day, you'll be at peace." - Paul Wheelock
Paul is honored to be working with the Leelanau County Cancer Foundation with the sales of this book. He will be donating $1 to the foundation per book sold up to five thousand copies initially. The local community rallied in an incredible way around his entire family for over 9 years and Paul is super excited to be able to give back in this way with the sales of his book.
