Okay, so I just heard a good one. I was in one of my man special ed meetings. Had a grandparent tell the story of her daughter and her surprising death, she had an ear infection that turned into meningitis, tragic I know. This grandmother, knowing i had cancer and why we had to get the meeting done so quickly, said "We wish she would have had cancer so we could spend more time with her." I just about lost it in that meeting.
