On a serious note

I have a buddy, named Perry, who has leukemia. The other night he was telling me the whole story of his illness over the last 6 years - how he found out, the chemotherapy, the bone marrow transplant, the remission, and how he got sick again. At one point after the bone marrow transplant, Perry thought that he was completely healed. But then he began show symptoms again, and he described what he went through with these two sentences...

"I had the horrible experience of feeling like I was going to die. It sucked ass."
-Perry

Amen brother. I bet it truly did suck ass.

Perry has some very difficult decisions to make in the near future. He also has a wife and two kids to think about as well. So if you pray, please pray for him. If not, toss a penny in a well and wish for his health.

All of us take our wellness, and the wellness of the ones we love, for granted more often than not. Hug your kids, call your parents, and hang-out with your friends. Time is ticking...

Peace.
