Make the most of it...
Going to hospital tonight to see a guy who was admitted to hospital..was admitted with a bad back...found out today he has lung cancer and got a week at most, will leave his filipina wife and a young teenage lad...very sad, meanwhile we are being bitchy, people are dying around us.So if you smoke to much..stop..drink to much stop...too much sex never killed anyone..

It makes me sad, to think about those who are not as fortunate.
I went in for a persistent chest cold. Turned out I'd collapsed a lung and had been walking around with it for about a week.
I quit smoking that day.
It was Friday the 13, 2009.
I spent the night in hospital, waiting for a specialist. It gave me a glimpse of what it would be like to lay there watching everyone that loved me trying to hide their fear, and tears while I lay in bed dying of something I'd done to myself.
Quitting was miserable for a couple months, but that vision made it not really all that difficult.

We just never know when our time will come. There may be no warning at all.
Who would suspect back pain was cancer? Many have back pain, it's a common problem.
I remember when my Dad died. That night he seemed fine, said his goodnight's to all, and went to bed as usual. Later that evening my mom heard a strange noise and went to check on him. Nothing was in disarray; there didn't appear to be a struggle. Just a noise that got her attention. He was gone.
Every moment of life we have is pure gift. And no, we shouldn't be spending it in mean and negative ways. The wisdom of the ages.
For those who like Elvis:
It is always sad when a friend dies, especially prematurely.
Everything in moderation.
