This is a story about an extraordinary couple: Howie and Laurel, two college sweethearts who met in law school, married, had three children and battled stage 4 cancer together. Their daughter, photojournalist Nancy Borowick, documented their last days battling the disease. This is not a story about cancer; it's a story about strength and love and truly living life. Borowick tells ABC News these photos are not meant to be about illness but about "living a more thoughtful life." Pictured, Laurel and Howie in law school in their early 20s.
