Thank you for sharing that. God is great!


My new car has a button for pretty much everything. Even has one that says rear wiper. Still too afraid to try that one.

Heck of a thing to live through and and be able to tell the tale. THat's what I've found too, that prayers to God that ask for the strength to handle it, sure can't do it alone. People, no matter who, doctors, preachers,family none can truely understand unless they are or have gone through the same ordeal. For me only God can really give me the strength to handle all the pain and all that comes with being terminal and knowing best how not to make plans too far into the future but still find enjoyment in the present,

Have to say i wasn't sure how this would be received in here. It's not pretty and I don't talk about that period much, there were other things in 97 not just this, maybe I'll write the whole story out if it might help someone heck anyone.

These post stay on the net forever. You will never know how many people will read it now and in the future it may help. Great post for sure. A good reminder to me I'm relying on myself lately instead of my creator like I should be and I need to re focus. Been up tight lately. Nothing serious just wanting to make life changes.
So even though I'm not going through anything dramatic or challenging now your post reminded me to refocus. Along with that I will rember it when things get rough in the future.

Thanks for sharing.

Thanks for sharing. I don't think there are many of us that at one point or another haven't felt the same about life and were probably dealing with a whole lot less than you were.
