Sorry, no comedy today.
Yesterday, I was advised my daughter’s mother has been diagnosed with cancer. This week Doctors will confirm if it is advanced as they suspect.
All my life co-workers, acquaintances, friends, neighbors,and step children, ex and current spouse, have turned to me in search of strength. They often said, I could fix anything. Even now, there are days I can almost feel my spine crumbling inside me, yet, everyone still leans on me.
I have always been that defiant person determined to do, what others say can’t be done.
But there are limitations to what I can fix.
Miracles For You
I cant stop the rain from falling
the sun sets far beyond my reach
seasons will always come and go
they were never mine to cease
we were more than passing ships
we shared our child and memories
I would give the things I don’t have
to let your problems devour me
the stars eventually fade with time
the tallest mountains crumble too
you can’t imagine what I would give
to perform a few miracles for you
Have a wonderful week.
Keep writing.
Keep smiling.
In my personal experience since I had a similar thing that happened to a family member this past year, although that disease ended in tragedy, but what I did do was to keep calm, be strong, and have as much fun with the person as you can have. All that is projected to the other person and most likely than not is a relief and a much better way to handle things. And cancer is something that they have made great advances for treating. All my best to you and your family.

My friend…
Cancer is a terrible thing to deal with, for all concerned, or close to those affected. My father died of it in 1985…
But, there is no longer any reason for anyone to die from it, for a cure does exist, and it is readily available to anyone with access to a few feet of dirt in their yard…
Simply, cannabis cures cancer…. If you type those words into You Tube, you will find a huge number of videos from people who have cured their own; it is effective, 100% of the times tested, and has NO side effects from using it. It isn’t smoked, it is consumed as an essential oil, which is a natural part of our own immune system; our bodies MAKE cannabinoids as part of those systems which heal us, and defend against illness.
This link is by the hacker group, Anonymous, which explains how they found out the US government has KNOWN this FACT, since 1976….
I’m also including the embed code, just in case it works to put it here, for your readers to see….
Best of luck to your friend; I hope they don’t refuse to see this information for what it is, an attempt to help, for there is now nothing to fear from cancer, if we can learn about our own bodies….and, how natural substances are much better for it than any pill, or chemical given by a soulless corporation, in a broken medical model as we have here in the US….
My brother has lymphatic cancer, and is almost cured; every lymph gland that was swollen and cancerous is shrinking, rapidly, and he is pain free….
Love,
gigoid
