Hey Milton, Don't feel bad about saying what you think. You'll know soon enough if you say something that REALLY gets us going. smile

There is a secret that we know and others do not. That is: we never know from minute to minute what is going to get us. Even before the cancer this was true, and after cancer this is still true. (I don't mean this to be depressing) People whom haven't experienced this kind of thing, go about each day assuming that tommorrow will come. They miss out on the detail and quality of today! Think about that! it is a gift life has given us. To cause us to focus, to learn what is important, to carry on. When we get to the end of our journey on earth (we all will cancer or not) no matter how long that is we will be able to look back and know that we saw life with brighter color, louder sound, more intense feeling than many other people get to experience.

I think that is pretty cool!
