There is something within me. It seeks to consume me and cause my demise. It is either a physical or a mental cancer. Whichever , it is most certainly real. It brings back memories. Memories of those ... Afflicted. Memories of Me ... afflicted. At some point in time my physical existence will end. But hope my spirit will live on for all eternity. The possible cure for this cancer us borne of HOPE and of LOVE !!!!!

I hope its only a mental cancer...although that hurts just as much as we know...

Interesting to describe this illness as a cancer...I agree...it sux

One way or another, in this world or the next, there IS love and hope at the end of this "cancer".

Good point Momin....this mental stuff doesn't seem AS curable....it sux...I was just thinking if I had physical (cause I'm so negative) I wouldn't live long....at least with this...I'm too chicken to kill myself...and I've said it before....

Although I sometimes don't want to exist....I don't want to be under the ground either. At least with my mental cancer...I'm above ground being miserable...or at least having SOME moments of joy occasionally.

Too me both types suck pretty much equally. Both types have taken friends and other loved ones away from me for now. Still not having then here always hurts very very much. If it's my time to go it will be a time not chosen by me. That's for someone else to sort out. And I have lots of love for that being. I trust my Creators choices with faith and humility. As they say what will be will be .

Hugs, for you, ND, I've been in your shoes and am hoping the worry remains just that---a worry, and nothing more.

Get back to snuggling and kissing grandchildren, ASAP!!

I wish you freedom from anything that upsets this time with that beautiful grandchild of yours.

(((massive hugggg)))
