I know this is a political motivated blog, but I have to rant a bit about cancer... yes the dreaded disease that puts dread in anyone who has heard their doctor way the phrase... " we have found a mass and testing results show that it is cancerous"
I do not have cancer, but my father is struggling with it, I have a sister-in=law who is a survivor of breast cancer, battled and won, another sister-in-law who has had brain cancer twice, and won both times, many other friends who have made the long trek through pain, worry, fear, sickness, surgeries, radiation, chemo, and all of the many many struggles they slugged through to get to the word "remission" and then others like my sweet mother-in-law, aunt, and uncle who were taken to their heavenly home because of it.
I have a few friends right now who are in the midst of the battle, courageous they are, in the face of insurmountable odds. They keep a positive attitude and find time for those things that truly matter in life, and find peace even when everything around them says that they should just fold up in a heap of sorrow.
Gun control, illegal immigrants, campaign spending, war in Irag, all of these things, although important in some way, really become so trivial when faced with the reality that is the end of life. To all those of you out there struggling with this terrible disease.... Stay strong, know that we love you, you matter, and you have made this world a much better place for the rest of us, even if your time has been cut shorter than we would all like.
