A disease may require special attention, may impact the circles we move in and through, never does disease define the person,it says nothing of longings in the heart, of the distant hopes or near objectives of an individual's plans.
May cancer bless the urgency of being in the moment, without dominating the conversation, or changing the purpose of each day. May life's abundance be marked by thoughts, words and deeds that contribute beyond and in spite of the context of an MRI, CT scan, PET scan, blood marker or spinal tap. May invisible faith, unsee-able hope and irresistible love overshadow the physical outside of pain, diagnostics and treatment.
To be in the moment of every experience brings its own victory, and may that victory channel energy of healing melded in physiology and sparked by psychological immunity.
May you know the strength of friendship's love through prayers, calls, visits and cards. May positivity dwell deep within, subjugating bad cells to the body's remarkable immuno-response. May cause discovered bring cure conclusive and complete.
And should healing involve death, the door that leads to life beyond mortal bonds, may the confidence of life's enduring cycle nurture peace within. May loved ones share a held hand and hug as the soul seeks rest and the embrace of love eternal is enjoined.

It seems unfair that any would be called to an untimely early stage of life death, but death is a bridge we all walk across eventually.

I am treating several patients right now with this wretched disease. One is 36 and the other 54. It almost seems unfair someone so young must endure something so horrific. I pray for my patients and the families left behind every day. I shall share this with them and their families.
Oh Larry, how could this offend anyone. It is so inspiring. I am sorry that such beautiful inspiration comes to you from such a terrible loss.
God bless you Larry, you are always in my thoughts

I am not offended.
