Limoges woman suffering with cancer, turning heads with Tweet

By OttawaMatters Staff

It is a unique request from a woman dying of terminal cancer; she is seeking a new wife for her husband.

Katie Davidson, who lives in Limoges, has been diagnosed with cancer in her breast and her bones.  

While it is difficult news to deal with, Davidson told City News she was thinking of her husband's future when she sent out a tweet saying “terminal wife seeking future wife for widower husband.”

“If I could somehow look over or bless a relationship sometime in his future, of course I would want that,” she explained, “I just want him to be happy.”

Davidson joked that she is not holding auditions, but she is open to finding a suitable match for him. She knows it is a morbid idea but, but says planning for her death is giving her some control in a powerless situation. 

Davidson's husband Keith was surprised by the tweet, but said he is not looking for a new wife because he is focused on enjoying the time he has left with Katie.
