It makes you realize that the stupid trivial things we all ***** about each and every day are really not so bad. It makes you appreciate your family and friends more. It makes you cry. It makes you laugh. It makes you try harder. It makes working seem not so bad. It makes holidays mean so much more. It makes you appreciate the smell and burning eyes from the exhaust of sprint car, I can go on and on.
While I admit... It sucks that I have to deal with this but as I've stated above... it has given me a greater appreciation for the simple things others take for granted.
Bring it on.:wink
Quote of the year right there, folks!
Bill, I have had the honor of meeting you and I could tell from that one meeting you are a fighter. You will fight this valiantly..... and the Gilbert family will keep you in our thoughts and prayers. I, as well as others, have faith that you will once again beat this down.
The one line I will take away from your post and remember is this:
"It makes you realize that the stupid trivial things we all ***** about each and every day are really not so bad."
Take care of yourself. I look forward to seeing you in January!
