My mother was like she was energized after she finally agreed and believed the Drs in Pittsburgh that she had cancer. They gave her 3 months to live, which she did almost to the minute, but the only thing she would say to us is, I'm not dead yet and like me, she had to stay busy. We walked thru the Cemetry that was next to my house. That's hers and the rest of my families too. I still have 5 lots and hope it's still 5 20 yrs from now.
