Death of a Blog

I was so sad today that Annie of LittleRock deleted her blog......

Then just a little thought or two from me...

I just watched the Oprah show tonight. I do not care much for her show anymore but tonight it did catch my eye since it was about 2 people that have stage 4 terminal cancer.

Don’t get me wrong I would not compare myself to either one of these people. They both seem to have a pretty good way of looking at life and both had a positive attitude on many things. I will never be on a TV show showing all of my wisdom or spunk in my situation but there were a couple of things said that really could have been my words…One was a Doctor on Oprah asked the young girl with cancer (20 something) if she ever asked, “Why me?” and the girl replied, “Why not me.” This has been a standard reply for me then I also add. “I’m not that special.” When I really look at the entire illness I would rather have cancer than for any of my Brothers or Sisters, Kids, Grandkids, nieces, nephews, cousins, or any of my blood relatives to have this sickness….Now there might be some divorced outlaws we could push this on ….I’m certainly not a saint!


Second they asked the man who has 3 small children (I added that he had 3 small kids just to let you know how much of a harder time he has than me!) what was the one thing he had learned that really has surprised him and he answered, “How incredibly nice people are.” This has been very true for me. Everyone at the Doctors offices or the hospitals that know what I have are unbelievable nice to me. People who know me and even people who do not and I have told them of my illness are unbelievable nice to me…I tell Melissa all of the time, “If I had known all along how nice people were to me after finding out how sick I am I would have been telling them 10 years ago I had stage 4 terminal cancer!”…I’ve all ready told you, ‘I’m certainly no saint!’
