To Find a Cure?

Do you want to live or die?
Think of this as you seek a reply
Wouldn't you try and find a cure,
Just so you could be sure?
Listen to your inner voice,
Then make the right choice
Because life is worth the living
More so than dying

Think of your loved ones,
And the life that's still to come
For you are my blood, my family
And you mean the world to me
If I lose you now,
I'll have to go on somehow
I've loved you my whole life long,
And don't want you to be gone

Dedicated to my Uncle Jim, who was hospitalized on Friday the 6th.  He bled internally, and 
needed 5-6 pints of blood replaced.  He also was on a resperator, and his heart only had 
20% usage.  He had pnenomunia too.  The doctors think he has an ulcer.  He was almost 
dead when he was admitted.  He was realeased on Friday the 13th, but refuses to have a 
colonoscopy, and a heart cahterization done.  He has been prescribed medications, but will 
not take them.  He doesn't like doctors, and hasn't seen one in a long time, over 30 years.  
He is only 60 years old.  He is planning on returning to work at GM today, 3-16-09.

I hope he has done what he needs in order to get better; I don't know why sometimes people prefer to die instead of keeping up with the slide; I mean...there are many persons that depend of every person or that simply like them being around, and you pointed that out perfectly; thanks for sharing this, good luck

Oh, now I understand the other poem. Hope he changes his mind. some people become very stubborn I find in these situations sadly, and usually it is the men, I don't understand. Hope and pray he changes his mind and gets the care he needs. Love, shar
