Time has certainly flown since last posting, but then, life has certainly changed too. Some days, health wise, I think I am going nuts. Then some days, I just do not think. My emotions are torn - don't think they exist anymore. I am not concerned for myself per say, but at this point, I think about my family and friends and what my medical will do to them emotionally. I wonder if dying quick is a good thing, rather that time to think and ponder when and how. I have no fear of dying - personally it is the greatest triumph of my faith. I must admit, I do ponder the how and when. Right now I really want to have things in order, in case the time comes it will be too late. At least it offers a focus.

I was angry the other day in my heart - wondering why I would make new friends after my friend Kerryl died, if only to make them to die. I like things more logical and this is not. It is moments like that which hurt me emotionally, as I pain for them, not me. I also get angry as the physical fails. I was brought up to have to deny illness. It was presented as weakness. Thus, this which I can not control or hide creates another emotional dilemma for me to deal. Alas, tomorrow is another with more to ponder - but will I want to think by then?

As a dear friend, I can only say that I am touched by the extent of your caring. I do not grieve...yet...a time will come when it will most certainly be time to grieve... Perhaps it will be soon, perhaps it will be years from now... Perhaps it is you who will grieve my life for some unknown tragedy.

In either case, neither you nor I will ever be left alone like you were when you lost Jose and Kerryl.

Pain and loss are a part of life...but as a famous author once said... it is better to lose at love than to have never loved at all. The bond of our friendship (all of us) will hold us solidly in the faith that we WILL meet with you again in the end.

Thank you for your precious gift of love and friendship...

Know my friend, that it is WAY OK to be angry... it is WAY OK to worry....and it is WAY OK to share it with us!
