It seem...Yes, indeed, cancer is a monstrous entity. It seems to be growing in incidence. Even children as young as two get it. I am convinced it is due to all the crap in our food, and even eating healthy doesn't help all that much, because the crap is in the ground, the fertiliser, the packaging. As long as people care more about profit, cancer will keep increasing. It is particularly unfair, I think, for someone with cancer in one form to be beating it, only to have it strike in another. I lost a very good friend that way.<br /><br />But there are better things in the world, such as cats and grandchildren, and, for you, retirement and your daughter having her own household. What a fuss to go through to buy a house! Like everything else, it is much worse doing that now than it once was. But soon that will be accomplished, and you and the cats will have your house back again. You will of course miss your daughter and Eli, but having one's world back is pretty good...John Bellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10946140614088069665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-90919831502650721002018-08-12T12:43:08.969-06:002018-08-12T12:43:08.969-06:00I'm so very sorry for your cousin's passin...I'm so very sorry for your cousin's passing. My condolences to you, to her sister, and to all her family and friends. Fifty-seven is young...I'm only a few years younger, and I'm at the age now where I realize that it easily could be me in the same situation. That knowledge makes me want to quit my job and enjoy the rest of my time on earth, not wait for retirement, which might not ever come. But of course I still need to live and pay the mortgage and bills, support the fur kids, etc.<br /><br />As for that shooting in Fredericton: I have a very dear friend who lives just outside of the city and works in town, and they were on lock-down at their office. (I don't know where her workplace is in relation to the area of the event.) I don't know...Is life getting crazier or is it that we have such instant access to communication now and we hear almost instantly about things we might not have years ago? Maybe it's a bit of both. With 7 billion or so people jammed on this one planet, depleting resources, societal pressures and untreated mental health issues, it's no wonder people snap. :-(<br /><br />Anyway, it's all the more reason to seize the day, as the expression goes, and enjoy all that we can. I wish you a much, much better week ahead!Keahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06809655107065918944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5098840169301919183.post-11090054585957189632018-08-12T09:37:40.799-06:002018-08-12T09:37:40.799-06:00I am sorry about your cousin, Cancer truly does su...I am sorry about your cousin, Cancer truly does suck. You would think by now with all the technology they would be further along but there are so many forms of it and they seem to make advances in some areas but not others. Glad the house sale is going through, having adult children live with you is trying. They seem so mature sometimes and so immature at others (we've spent a lot of time this year with our adult kids, loved it but was happy to see them go too :)) It will be so nice for you to have privacy again, and when you leave your clean house it will be clean when you come back to it!Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.com
