Bill, I almost feel sorry for the cancer that has returned, but not quite. You are that strong.
It's tough enough dealing with it in my family, with my mom. But she is almost 77, and has had the chance to live a full life. Since she first was diagnosed in '96 she has outlived 5 siblings, 2 of whom were younger than her. She has seen her grandkids grow up, get married, etc. She has enjoyed the company of the Swordman many times. And she says that she wants to stick around for #2, who is due in April. I'm not betting against her. But the folks at hospice say that we need to be spending time with her as much as we can, because she is getting to the point where she cannot take care of herself very well. So my wife and I have been spending nights at her little apartment 3 minutes from here. (Jerry Shaw, you may have driven right by it, Fairington Apartments.)
Tough enough for one that has lived a long time, but for those like Bill, and espeically the kids like Andrew, we do note that life isn't fair. Maybe it isn't meant to be, but we are human and we do have these expectations at times.
Bill, I do hope you whip this disease and that no matter what, cancer will know that messing with you is no bargain. Have faith that God will not bring onto you any more than you can handle.
And all of us, who all have our own trials on a daily basis, will send up a prayer to The Boss in your behalf. :thumb
