You know, Sparky, I'm always in awe of people--their courage and resourcefulness, intelligence but tolerance for schemes, creativity and ruthlessness. We're a study in contradictions. (Some people say we're hypocrites.) I say we're just people who are trying to do the best we can with what we have in an uncertain world. I have an older friend who has stomach cancer. As she has put it, she's in denial about it and doesn't hear the doctors when they speak. I decided that the cancer is probably advanced and asked her to at least look into palliative care. During a recent ten year period, my relatives were just dropping dead from all causes. I've come to realize that a lot of people are meant to be in our lives for just a little while. They're our angels, and if we just concentrate on losses (any type) we'll miss out on much of the good stuff that life has to offer and the good times we could have had with people. Or not remember the good times we had with people. Hang in there.
