cancer...
An associate of mine lost a daughter to cancer. He is about to lose another one. Nearly each month he would fly out of town to visit and check on her condition. His last weekend visit ended up being 2 weeks as her condition had worsened. Not responding to treatment, he returned with news she had less than a month to live. That was Monday and what doctors said/predicted would be about a month is now updated to a few days.He's flying out tomorrow to be with her.
During his absence, I've been following his projects (we are in the kitchen remodeling business) and staying late when possible to see the work gets done. My thoughts are to work Saturday and Sunday so I don't fall behind in my obligations.
As they say "It is what it is."
Things will eventually get done.
For everyone in the office and all of his clients who know his situation, are hearts are heavy.

Today he went in for a scan to see what his levels are after treatments.
Hopefully it has been taken care of.
No child deserves cancer.
If there was a loving God, he/she would not put a child through such torment and pain.
I'd like to have a long talk with such a God that would permit such a thing,
as well as the development of mosquitos, ticks, and especially spitting cobras.
At least the rattlesnake frequently comes with a warning.
how sad such dept is to be doubled
Jim, what you blaming God for when Its not his fault?
My point is, that no loving god would "intelligently design" such a situation.
G'night Jim
I wish your friend/associate all the strength in the world!
There is no god to understand.
But since you imply that you understand gods loving nature, while I don't,
explain to us why such a loving god
would intelligently design/allow/cause human children to die of cancer and other severe illnesses.
Oops almost forgot I came to say it is a sad situation at your work Chat. I know the agony of losing one child hope I never have to face that again so my heart goes out to your co-worker. Good for you for trying to keep up the workload for them, it's the least you can do and it will mean a lot.
when we see/feel and know of such sadness understandable why one would say as you have, so I don't blame you and others for not believing.... but what of all the miraculous happenings, how come they don't have the same effect on you???
There are reasons why one is a disbeliever but so too are there reasons to be one.
why one chooses one over the other ... each to their own
My ex husband lost both his daughters and his granddaughter. He still has 2 sons and 3 grandsons.
My ex boyfriend lost his daughter less than a year after I lost my daughter. It will be a year the 27th of this month.
Condolences to your co- worker. Chat. I don't see an appropriate emoticon.
We're expecting the news any day now.
I read there are nearly 200 different forms of cancer, many cannot be cured.
