A Bad Thing

It must be the most horrible feeling to find out you’ve got cancer? I only hope I never have to find out. I’ve watched family’s grief, when finding out their loved one is dying with this thing. They suffer just as bad as the person, who has the disease.

Several of my acquaintances’ have passed away from cancer. I wasn’t able to give as much of my time, or concern to them as I would have liked. Yet, I tried as much as my lifestyle would allow.

Cancer, is no respecter of person’s, tearing apart the live’s of many. The small children, right on up to the elderly are claimed. It’s for sure even the wealthiest people can’t fend off this dreaded disease. If that be the case good-looking “Steve McQueen” would still be alive.

I can only imagine, what it feels like to live in the pain, this thing dishes out. It’s no wonder, they are on morphine. I don’t think it kills the pain enough. Just keeps the patient in la-la land and hopefully comfortable. My hats are off to the family’s who go through this, you certainly have to be strong.
