Taking care of "present you"

Thank you for this update, @koke . I was also near death many years ago, when my daughter was about 9 months old. I prayed to God, begged Him to let me live a few years more. I wanted my daughter to see me and know me for a longer period of time than I saw and knew my own father who passed away when I was 4 years old.
That prayer was answered for more than I hoped for. My daughter has now a 9 y.o. son and 7-1/2 y.o. daughter. A doctor friend told me that he knew of only three people who had the same sickness as I had - 1 died, the other became a vegetable, and I lived able to walk.
Others here in our "Prostate Cancer Brotherhood," may or may not believe in the power of prayers; I hope many do. You and I are the same -- we want to see our grandchildren grow. Both our prayers were answered before, and can be answered again. But regardless of how long or how short we live this side of eternity, there is something we HOPE for that will never fail. On the other side of the "river," there will be no more pain or tears, for these things have passed away.
Best wishes to you and your family. Let's smile and share a laugh with this one (see attached).

Absolutely my friend....lets laugh and smile and enjoy the beauty here on earth for as long as we have....and that we do not determine. Each day is a gift. Each day I encounter people who are 'grumbling" . I give them a smile and often say a kind word or two. At the end, I move on wanting to share my time with someone with the same perspective. Its a true gift when I do! Enjoy your day .... every day.
