There are so many things I have lost, quality things, due to cancer TX, but depression is so easy to slip into, I feel like a drunkard, one lapse into depression is too much, I would be lost again.
I have only one choice, to live.
The best I can, I look around, and note so many other people who are so much worse off than I am, and no matter how they are handling their conditions, they give me Reason to do better for myself, my wife, those who love and/or care about me.
To some, I am an inspiration, and it's therfore my duty, to do as well as I can, and as I go about that lifestyle, I realize I am no longer depressed, I begin to feel better about the quality of my life.
The more I give to others, the Richer my life.
