health

I think we take good health for granted. Those of us who are and have been healthy during our lives that is. I have 2 dear friends who weren't that lucky in 2005. D was diagnosed with prostate cancer and had the treatments that kept him under the weather for a few months the first part of the year...and JW was diagnosed with a return of the lung cancer he had battled off once before, having more treatments and being pretty puny for a while. It's hard when you know somebody you care about is going thru something like that and you can't do anything but try to encourage them and worry about them. There was great news the week before Christmas when they both had check-ups and the cancer was in remission for them both!!! YEAH!!!! That is such good news..for me and for them and their families, and such a nice way to go into the holidays and a New Year. I am considering that a good omen for 2006.........((smiles)) it's all gonna be all right.
