When mum-of-four Brenda Schmitz found out she had terminal cancer in 2011, she wrote a letter to a local radio station before she died asking for three wishes to be granted for her family.

She put this letter into the care of a close friend and asked her to send it to the station when the time was right – when her husband David fell in love again.

Watch this video to see David’s reaction when the radio show host reads Brenda’s letter and reveal her three wishes.

Then go hug family members, friends and pets – that’s what we did.
