I hope your friend enjoys what time he has and I hope the same for all of us, really. Thanks for that post.rubigimlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13031970778205823489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-48545380626156578172009-03-16T21:05:00.000-05:002009-03-16T21:05:00.000-05:00I get ticked every time I read of someone like you...I get ticked every time I read of someone like your neighbor. There should be a cure by now. My Grandmother died of lung cancer back in 1959 and Dana Reeves died of lung cancer two years ago... what in the intervening 46 years has been preventing a cure discovery, or, at the very least, treatment that isn't almost medieval and almost worse than the disease. Just asking here.Hyperblogalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05617626477611807412noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-69748075700648770792009-03-16T18:45:00.000-05:002009-03-16T18:45:00.000-05:00Nice sentiment and says alot about the kind of guy...Nice sentiment and says alot about the kind of guy he must be.Mark Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11832942533819391503noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-45797360094820252722009-03-16T17:21:00.000-05:002009-03-16T17:21:00.000-05:00Dying's just as natural as being born.

In fact, it appears the whole purpose of being born is to die, since thats what happens to everything that lives. But like a birth, the emotions associated with a death and dying are overwhelming. Can't think your way out of the conundrum that is existence on this planet. Can only accept or you'll tear yourself up--and you might do so anyway. Keep living till you dont!Lodo Grdzakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16417430593017226023noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11932117.post-702118222314523072009-03-16T15:23:00.000-05:002009-03-16T15:23:00.000-05:00Sorry to hear about George.
