I have _ _ _ _ _ _; it does not have me.

Life is torturous. When you wake up everyday feeling like crap. Waking up thinking that the day will be horrible. The only thing we don't do every time we wake up is feel grateful for the opportunity to see the ones we love for another day.

What if tomorrow was your day to go? Have you ever implemented that thought and acted toward people as you would if that were to happen? It's quite difficult, but when you know your time is limited, you try as hard as you can. Life is short. Strangely enough, you can do so much with your life in such little time. Yeah, you may say less than one hundred years is really long; but when you look at it, we are already 1/8th - 1/9th complete with our life. In a couple of years, we are done with high school. Then, we hit college; then we graduate from college; then, marriage and children and a job in this pathetic, down-the-toilet economy. Exciting, isn't it?

It is Stage I, terminal, lymphoma. The tumor is benign; It doesn't matter though. Just live life like you should, and everything will come around and take place. Let time run its course. Yes; bad things will come, and good things too; but if anything, people will be there for you, good or bad. Remember; "No man is a failure who has friends."

Life is not about how many breaths we take; it is the moments in life that take our breaths away.
