Because of the last thread........

I am sad but also very, very angry. My reply to benspawpaw about cancer is very close to my heart. I am angry that this demon will get 1 in 3 of us. I have shared this with a couple of you here, my DH of 28 years has been battling stage 3 lung cancer for a year now. Chemo, radiation........chemo again and radiation ......again all in less than a year. I come to the computer to relieve my stress. I don't get involved in heavy discussion because I want to escape and read the soap opera called Forums Forums. This forum has been a great help and although you don't know me well, I know all of you very well. But enough about me. My message to all of you is to live, love and laugh every day like it will be your last, for tomorrow might never come. I learned that the hard way but I practice what I preach.

Thank you, Hula. We are prone to put off to tomorrow the joys that can be experienced today. Probably because we think tomorrow will be better. We tend to think we have to have everything "just right" and THEN we can live when in fact if we would just LIVE then everything would be ""just right. It is sad this lesson is too often learned through illness and or loss. While I hate to hear of anyone fighting for their lives against a deadly illness, having lost someone I loved suddenly and tragically, I almost welcome illness because it sounds the alarm to wake up and enjoy what you have right now. I wish your husband great strength in his body, his mind and his spirit as he battles this disease and I wish for you both the peace that passes all understanding. You are in my thoughts and prayers.

I agree. Today is the first day of the rest of your life, what are you going to do with it. I know I'm going to try and live every day to the fullest.
