When the cancer cells in Ruths body

is spreading.

Peter is aware that the cancer is

spreading in her wifes body but instead
of saying the truth to Ruth he lied to her.

When Peter (a doctor specialize in

lung) and his family move in
Argentina, because his wife (Ruth)
diagnosed that she has Breast Cancer.

Ruth thought that shes already recovering form

cancer, because that was his husband said to him.
Peter shed that truth to Ruth. He did not said to
Ruth the true condition of her body.

Ruth started having her chemotherapy

and other treatment for her body to kill
the cancer cells.

Her body seems getting weaken,

her other organs starts to fail
but she doesnt know anything
about it. Peter keeps on lying to
him about her condition.

Eighteen months after, Ruth

died

Peter repented to what he have

done to Ruth, he is still not moving
on in Ruths dead after many years.

Even though its hard to tell someone the truth, you should told him that
because you dont know what will happen if you told it to him, nobody knows
maybe that truth might change something

If I were in the shoe of Peter, maybe Id tell the truth to Ruth from the
start. I know this is hard but I wont let shed a truth to my wife,
because I know things will change if I told her the truth.
The story is indeed a tearjerker and It serves a lesson to readers.
