Title: Perspective Post by: mitt on September 21, 2009, 07:39:45 PM Haven't felt like posting this yet, but here goes. Last week = worst week of my life to date, I am sure I will have others in the future since I am only 35...
Wednesday of last week - say goodbye to a friend after his motorcycle accident on Saturday Thursday of last week - find out my best friend from school, who is 1 year younger, has lung & liver cancer It makes me appreciate my situation and loved ones, and maybe not whine about little things for a while. mitt Title: Re: Perspective Post by: Grampa on September 21, 2009, 07:40:55 PM big hug

Title: Re: Perspective Post by: swampduc on September 24, 2009, 05:07:55 AM Sorry, Mitt :(
As BTB said, there are no words that'll make it easier, but it will get better. Title: Re: Perspective Post by: mitt on September 29, 2009, 07:42:53 AM Visited my friend and his family on Sunday. They are in good spirits and ready to fight. The hospital doesn't know what type of cancer it is and where it originally came from. Even the Mayo Clinic couldn't determine it.
They are choosing 2 types of cancer it might be, and starting chemo today, so everyone is happy for that. He is an amazing person, deputy fire chief at age 34 for a large volunteer department, and was just offered a full time fire fighter job with a large adjacent city, but he turned it down because he lived 8 miles away from their boundary and didn't want to move. In retrospect, it is lucky he did, since his illness would have been a big problem as a fireman. mitt |
