He lived for 4 and a half years before the disease took him. During that time I was conflicted about why he had to "suffer" but later on I understood that his journey wasn't over yet. He still had work to be done in this world before he could go on to the next world (heaven). Your blog and your life experience is still informing/teaching those around you. It will make them stronger and richer in their faith. <BR/><BR/>Andrea YurkiwAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654781.post-7108471159360996922009-02-06T20:12:00.000-05:002009-02-06T20:12:00.000-05:00Hi Don,I truly understand what you are talking abo...Hi Don,<BR/>I truly understand what you are talking about! It is such a journey - looking forward to better days - and when you have them it is hard to not wonder when they will end.<BR/><BR/>I believe that you have a good friend who said some days you have to just live minute by minute. And that means when you are on top of the world - then enjoy every minute. <BR/><BR/>And believe you will get better and have many more better days yet. Think back to a month ago - did you think you would get out to Chapters again? You can get better. Previously you echoed my thought about my husband - why can't you guys be the miracles? Someone has to be and I think the two of you are the best candidates!<BR/><BR/>You have made marvelous progress in the last couple of weeks. Could it be that your body has now nearly finished healing from surgery (yes, it can take that long!) so there is more energy for other things? <BR/><BR/>Before Christmas I thought my husband was coming to the point where things were just going to get worse and worse. But it appears that he was still feeling effects of radiation. He has been so much better the past month. I only realize now that I had started losing hope and had started questioning the miracle. I have renewed hope now -for both of you!<BR/><BR/>None of us really knows when our time will come. Enjoy every wonderful minute that you can. When those minutes, hours, days and weeks come, hold onto them and celebrate! It is really all any of us can do.<BR/><BR/>Take care and best wishes - maybe 2 trips out next week!Lorna Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08826411620622404841noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6654781.post-6039510535820463522009-02-06T16:26:00.000-05:002009-02-06T16:26:00.000-05:00Go for it Don!

That is really, really good news!<BR/>Shame on you for eves dropping but remember it goes the other way too. They have thought that someone would not last long and they went on for years[I know some examples].<BR/>So I repeat "GO FOR IT"!<BR/>A AnitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
