It's been a tough year of losses for our family and we have an individual currently fighting stage IV that's terminal. He's younger than me. He stayed with us for a few weeks in September and I drove him into his cancer treatments here in Pittsburgh before I'd go into work. I'd pick him up after.
They eventually called the trial off as the cancer is too aggressive. He's on hospice now and I'm not sure how much time is left, but he fought a hard 4 years.
This is definitely one of the worst things I've been around as I've never had a personal encounter with cancer. The worst thing is, as mentioned above, he's younger than me by a couple of years.
Basically saying: draw your loved ones close and enjoy this Holiday and the forthcoming ones and try to make time slow down as much as you can.
It ain't the size of your house . . . and I've done pretty well between now and when I last posted in this board years ago. I have a lot of things I probably shouldn't and a woman I don't deserve. What I've found is I can buy pleasure, but you have to create true happiness. Money doesn't do that.
We're going to celebrate the best we can with some absences in the room tomorrow due to this final battle. If the opportunity is OK, we'll go over and visit them.
I don't want any sympathy for me about this because it's not my battle. I can't claim it—it's just something horrific he and his wife have lived for 4 years.
My wish is for everyone's health this year and forward.
Happy Thanksgiving.
