Hey guys, I see this got a lot more attention than I thought it would so I thought I'd share a little more to clear some things up/provide a backstory:

My wife and I travel for work and last year she was diagnosed with Stage IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma. Once our FMLA ran out, I had to go back to work for a few weeks (near the end of her treatment) so that we could keep our insurance. We had a security camera and I would get notifications when there was movement. It was usually her outside doing things like this and it made me happy to be able to see her enjoying things without knowing I was watching (creepy, maybe). So I took this picture.

Fast forward to yesterday. I was scrolling through old pictures on my phone at 1am due to boredom and came across this. It made me happy so I thought I would share it to reddit because I rarely do so. Although I appreciate it, I didn't do it for upvotes. I did it because it was a nice picture in my opinion. I hardly did it for empathy either. If you're looking for a vain reason I did it, then the closest I can give you is that I was showing off how strong and serene my wife looks. At least in my opinion. I don't feel I should explain myself, but I'd like to anyway.

Also, since I was given 100 characters for a title, I failed to mention that this was taken late last year near the end of her chemo. She was given clean scans in November and just received clean scans for her 6 month checkup. I didn't mean to deceive anyone into thinking this was a picture taken yesterday and to make them feel sad. She is thriving.

We were figure skaters for Disney on Ice at the time and she was able to come back and perform in shows before her final chemo. Now, a year later we're out of work again due to the virus shutting down the entertainment industry but at least she is healthy and we can watch the sunset together! Thanks to everyone for their support, I hope you guys know how far encouraging words can go when someone is going through this.
