Title: THE BEST LAID PLANS
Post by: the elf on November 27, 2015, 02:22:00 PM
Well--as the old saying goes--the best laid plans
often go awry. Every year I take great pleasure in
participating in the ST. JUDES AUCTION and usually come up with some pretty good treasures
to play with and enjoy. This year was no exception .
I got 2 bows and 3 knives and was looking forward
to having fun.

Then along came Murphy and his whole family !
After all the tests and scans and xrays------
I now have PANCREATIC CANCER which has also gone to my lungs --and is not curable.Now getting
CHEMO every 2 weeks.On oxygen 24/7.

Aint life grand !

Elf OUT.

That diagnostic is no good. Being a cop I have seen many people pass, and every shift I prepare myself for the possibility not to come home. It may not be what you want to hear right now, but we are all dying.  Some fast some slow, some do not know when they will go. With that in mind I have it in me to only encourage you to enjoy every minute.  It is easy to get bitter at bad news, it is easy to get down. Don't give in, be positive and I personally will keep you in my prayers.  Wishing you the best in a bad situation.
We are pulling for you and there is no such thing as not curable!  Stay strong brother.

Elf,

I will say that my pastor just recently preached on being thankful for the thorns, which life has a way of giving.  Let not this define who you are, press on and fight on.

Praying for you!

Nothing to add that hasn't already been said. Don't know if you have any children or grandchildren but with me, I find, as I advance farther and farther into the twilight, that I can't tell mine often enough that I love them. Will come a time when that won't be possible and don't want to regret not doing so. I do wish you the best that can be in your present predicament though and enjoy, if possible, what time you have left to the best of your ability.

That is hard news, and tough thing to process!  Yo will stay in my thoughts.  Take the time you have to get as much enjoyment out of time with family and friends. They will be your strength and you will be able to give them something to hold onto as well.

If you still have the strength to do it go get in one more hunt and make it the bucket list hunt you always wanted! Be with the friends and Family you love as long as you can. Every man dies but not every man truly lives. You have lived

So sorry to hear the news.  Keep the faith and as others have said, keep your head up and fight on. Working as a ER trauma nurse most of my life I have seen a lot, my faith is what has gotten me through it all.
