This man sounds like my husband - non smoker, exercised, social drinker - then got colon cancer in '07 and was dead two years later. That was 3 years ago, next month.

My 23 year old and 33 year old took it the hardest. They put him on such a pedestal that he no longer was the person i knew. I had to spend some time with the both of them in letting him become human, so they could let him go.

It sucks, really.

It makes me feel better that I believe Jay is in another place and time. Out of pain and probably on that second round of golf for the day . . .

Becca's on her way to the airport w/ her dad.

This morning, we actually had a couple of laughs about family stories
she told about John. It's good to remember all the good times.
Some people think that the most important
thing that we do in life is to make good memories.

@Joe Nation,
Quote:
Yes.
No.
Life is not fair.
But if it is just
it will provide each of us
some witness
to say
Here was a man
Here was a woman
Here was a person
who lived the best life they could
loved as best as they could
cared and dared to be the being they felt within
thought the best thoughts about the rest of us
poor pathetic examples of humanity
and
gave us hope
that somehow
we would learn to be
as loving
as thoughtful
as caring and daring
as
this
one
soul.
May it be so
May I do my best to make it so,

Joe(amen)Nation


I like this, very nice!
