Because Justin was only 29 years old, the symptoms were even more alarming. The couple had to cancel the rest of their trip and return to their home in England, where a shocking message was waiting for them.
Justin had an aggressive brain tumor, and the doctors said that he only had two years left to live.
On the same day as Emma gave birth to the couple’s first daughter, Mia, Justin started his cancer treatment and wasn’t able to welcome his baby girl into the world.
Despite the treatment, Justin’s cancer quickly spread. Emma remembers the horrifying words from Justin’s doctors.
“They gave me two weeks to take my husband home before he died,” she says.
In May 2016, Justin passed away. Now, the couple’s daughter will have to grow up without her dad.
Everything went so fast that no one had suspected a brain tumor. But afterward, Emma did some thinking.
“Looking at the wedding photos now, you can see that the right side of his face is droopy,” says Emma.
