Cancer

My mother told me last night that my grandmother's cancer had come back with a vengeance.  what WAS breast cancer in remission has now turned into spots on her liver and lungs.  trying a "new" drug treatment coming up soon.  the doctor told my grandmother that if this didn't work (we still have other options) that she is looking at maybe a year.  when faced with a finite time frame for your life, what is the first thing you do?  my grandmother has never been one to hold her tongue and she loves more than anyone i know.  i think she is gonna fight cancer until her last breath, exhaust all options until cancer overcomes her.  when faced with the realization that we are mortal beings, why go through life miserable?  why be negative?  reminds me of that poem:  i will not go quietly into that dark night, i will not go without a fight.  this is a metaphor for life and obstacles.  make things happen for yourself in this world.  don't wait on your own personal cancer to come and overtake you.  meet it (whatever it is) head on and stand there and fight.  be the ebb to the worlds flow.  be the peak in a range full of valleys.  be the light that shines in the sea of darkness.  be hope.  i love you mrs. dorothy whitlock.  i can only hope to be as strong as you when i face my life's cancer.  i want you to know you are not alone.  i hope with you. 

in the limitless pursuit.
