One in 400 Million.....

[Barry]

This afternoon I have to pick up a 2001 41' Mountain Aire motorhome with a 350 Cummins. It has 10,015 miles. This was the couples dream retirement coach. They said to sell it.

They BOTH have cancer. 1 in a 400 million chance that a husband and wife have the disease at the same time. The lining between his lungs and his rib cage is infected. Inoperable. She has breast cancer. On chemo.

Go home and hug your wife... ... ... ... ... .

Barry,



I hug my wife on a regular basis... we never know when it's your time or how we will go... ...



My sister and sister-in-law died with breast cancer. Surgery, chemo, radiation... suffered through it all, but the cancer still won.



When they're gone, it's too late to hug 'em.



Bill

Amen... ... .

Barry,

I don't think it's a 1 in 400million chance anymore because both of my grandparents have it currently. Although we recived good news this week that my grandmothers breast cancer is now in remission, she is still due for one more chemo treatment in 2 weeks. My grandfather is having on going battles with it now. This summer it was his liver though, at ths ame time as my grandmothers breast cancer. I took the semester off from college so that I can drive them to the hospitals for treatments, and doctor appointments.



It aint a good thing to deal with yall.

Last summer I watched a good friend of mine deal with lung cancer. It really makes you realize how fleeting our time in this world is. The worst part was that his 18 year old son refused to acknowledge that his Dad was dying and, to my knowledge, never took the chance to say goodbye. Hopefully none of you will ever have to go through what his wife and those of us who called him friend went through. Cancer is not pretty and the cure can be worse than the illness.



By all means enjoy your relationships and DO NOT TAKE FOR GRANTED your time on this earth.

Mom was killed last Sunday in an auto accident.



A 16-year-old talking with her buddy ran a stop sign and t-boned her car into a post, where a car coming the other way nailed her.



I'm very happy I ran up there a few weeks ago to spend time with her.



Since there's no way to prevent an idiot from killing someone you love, you'd better let them know you love them now.
