Jude’s Eclectic Resources

No one ever promised me that life would be a bed of roses and I know how unfair things work out for some people, but sometimes when they happen to us they just don’t seem real or maybe we just go into a state of denial. I have been doing a lot of thinking lately about my life since my son was diagnosed with small cell stage 4 cancer and so has he.

Many of us take so much for granted in the life we live and others have learned to appreciate each day given. I know I have been guilty of taking things for granted for way too long and until some sort of tragedy happens in our life we simply mosey along without much thought. I am now forced to face my mortality along with my sons and it’s not a very easy task.

We all know that any of us can depart this life at anytime and that there are no guarantees for any of us, but we also understand that if we live a healthy life that our chances of living a long full rich life is enhanced. When someone you know and love is afflicted with an incurable, fatal disease and all you can do is stand by and watch and pray for a miracle, that is the most helpless feeling in the world.
