Cancer Changes Your Life View

Maybe it’s just me, but I know from sharing with others, having cancer changes the way you view life.  My dad’s timing in life sucked, but he was one of the most resilient individuals I have ever known.  After multiple failed restaurants, bankruptcy, and losing my mom to cancer, he somehow always managed to give joy to others.  One of my last visits with him before he died of cancer we sat on the back porch watching long tree shadows spread across the lawn as the sun went down.  I didn’t realize he was dying.  It’s in our fight for life that we find life waiting for us in moments shared with loved ones, friends, sunrises and sunsets.  Life is about being present for each and every life moment.
