The Journey Begins

Debra's Doctor gives her a prognosis of Pancreatic cancer. She asked him, "How long do I have to live?" "One month was his answer!!" She is listening but she drifts in and out. In a state of shock, she cries out!! Scattered thoughts of her children, husband, parents, sisters, brothers, God!! She can't go on she feels like she has had enough!! Why me!!? she screams inside!! She is trying desperately to realize, to realize, to realize!! "Everything stops right now!! Oh my God I will die!! I'm so afraid of death!! This is not real," she shouts!! She cries, and cries!! She ask God, why, why, why? The Journey Begins!! Michael Tor 11/14/2015

Great write my friend! Sad, thats just about how it went with my brother-in-law, only he was told about 6 months. He lasted seven...... He was only 58 years old and in fine health , other than that cancer. That was only a few months ago..

Wow Robert! I am sorry to hear of your brother-in-law. Such a tragedy so young. So much terror in our foods with the GMO's and the pesticides. No wonder it is destroying so many. It breaks my heart to read the obituary in the paper and see so many young souls leave us too early. Blessings to you and your wife Robert hope you are well my friend. Thank you for your visit.
