MARK PILGRIM HONORED FIANCEE’S ‘ANGEL ON EARTH’
Mark Pilgrim reflected on the importance of having a supportive partner during his cancer journey in a video posted on his YouTube channel last year.
He said: “It’s one of my pillars towards my journey to recovery, of regaining my health. Because, let’s face it, to go through this on your own is so much harder”.
Praising Adrienne, he gushed: “I’m blessed to have an angel on this earth, Adrienne, who has been by my side from the word go”.
Mark revealed that Adrienne spent hours preparing healthy meals for him, according to his dietary requirements.
He continued: “It’s not just the physical or logistical side; it’s about the emotional support as well.
“Not every day is a good day. There are days when I am not feeling great, and she puts her arms around me and whispers in my ear how tomorrow is going to be a better day.
“If you’re going through a similar journey, my wish is that you have an Adrienne at your side too”.

“One day, as we sip cocktails on the beach, with our toes in the sand and the girls laughing in the background, we’ll look back at these past months and say that this was one hell of a journey… and we got through it”.
