He and his wife have been my neighbor for 20 years. He retired at 72 and then less than a year later was diagnosed with skin cancer on his scalp. He worked for 50 years, was all set financially and had all of about 10 months of retirement before the Cancer struck. He has been through all manner of exotic treatments and it has bought him some time, but every time I see him he looks weaker. I help him with his trash cans or whatever he needs. He is just a great guy, the backbone of America type and he absolutely hates needing help. I'd be the same way I'm sure. He keeps fighting but Cancer is a mother fucker. It is relentless.
I guess the point of this is, none of us knows what time we have left. As for me I don't spend one day in fear of anything or hating anyone. Life is too short to waste it. To paraphrase Forest Gump, your days are like a box of chocolates. Enjoy each and every one because you don't know how many you have.
