A chat with my sister!

The other day after a very verbal emotional weekend discussion, my sister stopped by as we discussed her cancer and compared it to mine. Well I was floored at what my sister said. For over a year I have been lead to believe that my sister had a miracle and that her cancer was in reversal. Mine is no longer detected thought there are always current issues one deals with. Besides we are here to chat about my discussion with my sister.

My sister and I have always been close! Yes there are religious differences and the Gay issue has always been a challenge for her! But I know she loves me and Rob and we leave it at that.

As my sister and I chatted she tells me her cancer has spread to organs and basically all over her body! It's being maintained but there is no reversal! I looked at my sister totally different from that moment on! I will still give her an argument to remind her she is still living, but every time I see her I wonder if it's my last.

My sister loved dressing up as a girl and still does as women. Not having hair is something that bothers her more than losing her breasts to cancer a number of years ago. I write this with tears for I can't imagine life without my sister! I wish we could trade places! She is loving, patient, caring and what I call an angel on earth!

My sister always cares more about others and me than she does about herself. Every Friday she gets treatment to keep another week going and as she told me someday and no-one knows that day, she may be told just enjoy whets left. I honestly can tell you she won't tell us, though we will all know!

My sister will never read this, but in this world of emotions, down deep my sister knows, she is a part of me that can and never will be replaced!

For those lucky to have a sister like mine, treasure them for one day the treasure will be buried and gone!

You’re Bro!

A goverment shutdown-You asked for it!

Do you realize when the government shuts down it pays its people back to the day it shut down! So let's see they shut down the government, millions of government workers stay home and go shoe shopping and when the battle is over these workers, who did nothing, get their pay retroactive to that day!

I JUST LOVE GOVERMENT! I supported it for the last 10 years of my career. I needed it to live now being disabled and realizing that my check along with others may not arrive next month angers me. So many areas of government are out of control, that it should shut down and begin brand new with private contracts monitored by government workers who are qualified to monitor.

We are the best democratic nation, but there is little to be liked about how it works just be dealing with Medicaid. It is so out of control, lacking common sense with unqualified staff that one can only get something done properly if escalated to management. It's like the first line of defense should all be fired.

So shut it down and create it from scratch with a profit in mind and not a burden on tax payers. It's an idea, amazes me why this idea is not implemented!

Today With Abilio, A View Of Life Accepting Death: Things are looking good!

Things are looking good!

As I say that, I worry! Based on life's experience, every time things look good something comes behind you and knocks you off your feet!

Yes I am seeing a surgeon and may need additional back surgery! Yes I still carry the terminal disease! But the medication is working and except for some minor things that need to be worked out with my doctors all seems to be going in the right direction.

When one is sick, it feels good to say or write such news. I will have more in coming weeks and the Power of Attorney and Five Wishes are being notarized this week just in case things turn around.

Even if all stays well for a while one should always have all documents ready because life changes in a moment.

Do we worry about gossip!

Let me tell you as we all who are in the numbers game (so many years to live) do not worry about gossip!

Gossip is for those who have time in their hands....

So we will listen but as fast forget and focus on the life we have left!!!!
