Life IS worth living....

So here it is, a diagnosis from that ugly word...CANCER. you feel low, tired...but you always did. This was different. So your sister takes you in and insists you get healthcare and a checkup. Low and I mean LOW and behold you have tumors in your chest. You said you did to yourself...you lose control of YOU.....
It's not me, it's my only brother. Right in the middle of the hierarchy. We looked up to him. Sadly he did not. But we endured with him, loved him as a sister would and should.
Then THEE only sibling that had it in her, to care, to nurture regardless, helps.....Our only brother has cancer in his lungs. She spends no expense to help...why that's who she is......
Chemo, radiation, a year later, all seems well...isn't that how cancer fools you!! liar cancer, cheater cancer, deceiver cancer!!
Ugh, then it hits, aches, pains, where do they come from? Cancer of course!
Then my big Bubba brother is given 9 months to live. But there's my 2nd oldest sister caring like no other would. Bringing him in, tending to him as God would ask.
Now, 9 months later my bro has 7 days left of life. Are you kidding me? I saw him 8 months ago. I didn't believe it, huh, 9 months is not going to happen, that's so far away....
Nope, it's here, now, today. What is happening to my siblings?, as my parents are looking on from heaven. My siblings are cloudy in thought, missing the real idea of family, love, caring,...enabling......
But most important, I'm about to lose my only brother!!
Men,.... men in our girl ridden world. What's wrong? Why are these men not taking the reins to aide and care, and comfort us women. Why are we, the women taking the front controls and succeeding. Or are we?? What are we women not seeing in our men???
I see it as a collaborating effort. But how many woman and men can not accept the idea of a woman and a man collaborating to accomplish a task? rare indeed.
People, realize this IS the FUTURE. Without common people we are lost.
To live is to collaborate and compromise....HELLO!!!
Just learn from your mistakes people, me too, you too! Caring on from there. NO ONE IS CORRECT! But we can resolve correctly.
We all mess up. Accept it and move on to what is the real issue, real objective for the day.
