There's a lot of tragedy in this world can't be any other way. Watching someone you have been married to for 60 years slowly die it's not a good thing and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. So I watch my friend as he watches his wife slowly pass. Pain in his soul is hard to miss you can see it in his eyes. Thing about cancer is it takes people who are healthy contributing members.... And just takes them away wipes them out.... Last year at this time that 80-year-old woman was dragging 90 lb branches to the burn pile... Now she can barely move... I wonder what this is all about sometimes.... I read once that life is just a series of tragedy interspersed with a few laughs here and there...I broke in 1997... Lost people that could not be replaced... After that last person died that I loved so much... Within a week I'd quit my job of 20 years... And soon after that I was homeless... Looking back on it I don't think I even cared that much that I was homeless.... Dumpster diving.... I was like kind of numb.... Things are kind of jumbled up after that.... I've been blessed to wind up where I'm at... But life has taught me this one important fact... Everything is temporary... When you have a thing and you love a thing you just have to keep loving it and keep appreciating it... Because it's going to go away... That's just how it is... I guess the only solace we can take from that is that one day we go away too...
