During cancer is a zone of discovery with raw emotions, stripped down and peeled by chemo and raidiation. Sometimes I look back and try to pretend my cancer never happened. I walk down the street and think, "It didn't happen" but the next person I meet or see with an illness or disability I have a compassion that only comes from participation. One thing you will never do after this is take life for granted.Corn Doghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00747361708585377105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15402237.post-51322047947017365462007-10-11T22:52:00.000-07:002007-10-11T22:52:00.000-07:00Egan~ Thanks man, it does mean a lot.Cindra~ Firet...Egan~ Thanks man, it does mean a lot.<BR/><BR/>Cindra~ Firetrucks are just cooler than the firemen.<BR/><BR/>Chandra~ Now I'm going to have to listen to Chicago's Greatest Hits to find out what you are talking about.<BR/><BR/>Karyn~ I'll take your biscotti and hugs anyday.The Grunthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03845796879498225434noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15402237.post-19862741716496057142007-10-11T20:22:00.000-07:002007-10-11T20:22:00.000-07:00Yeah, I've got nothing to offer by way of enlighte...Yeah, I've got nothing to offer by way of enlightenment. <BR/><BR/>Got biscotti though.

I can't even imagine what it must be like to be in your shoes. You do matter. I've only read you for about a year and you have great things to say sir. Read the comments and there's even more proof.<BR/><BR/>I think many of us take our healthy lives for granted. Without our health, where would we be?
