Twilight Passed

As I stand at the edge of a cliff I find myself terrified of an ugly truth staring me in the face. To jump off this cliff would be a terrible disgrace. Despite the pain that has claimed sanctuary in my brain I prefer to move forward. Today, I am just as appreciative of this puzzle called life as the thought of it's climax to erase the strife. I beg you to listen to what I have to say in the hope that it can help you no matter the way. It's better to suffer with the hope of a reprieve then it would be to end early with an untimely leave. Brain cancer was hard, OCD is absolute hell. However, courage is a companion no matter where you dwell.

wow! Powerful words, Michael and great advice. Sorry to hear about your pain and struggles with brain cancer & OCD. Bless your heart. I agree....better to embrace courage then to end one's life early. I maintain ending my life is not my decision. Thanks for sharing your words and your pain. Wishing you a lovely evening, Sara
