Lesson Of life
Lesson Of life
One thing I have learn in my 56 years, that nothing is permanent. Everything is only here and yours for a short while so we might as well enjoy everything we have in life and not take it for granted
The Bad
Things you take for granted in life: Your wife, parents, friends and other family members can be taken away from you in a split second.
I have three very dear friends that I care about deeply. I'm afraid that two of them are headed for an early grave.
One of my very close friends since I was 13 years old had throat cancer. He had an operation that cured him but he has gone back to smoking which will kill him. I can't express enough to him what he is doing to me, his family, wife and kids. His children are young enough to feel his death for the rest of their lives. He blames everyone but himself for the position he is in. He will not do his exercise to strengthen the muscles in his throat. Four months after his operation he still isn’t eating solid foods. There's nothing anyone can do for him if he won’t listen, so I am getting myself ready for the day of his death, as ready as I can get.
My second friend has always been a good friend to me. Always there when I needed someone. Now she has a tumor in her brain that keeps growing and cannot be operated on. I feel terrible that I can not help her. All I can do is be there for her, but that is not enough for me. It will have to do. She, unlike my other friend, would do anything to have a chance for a normal life again. But that is not in the cards for her. The only thing she can look forward is death but she still goes on strong like nothing is wrong. My first friend should take lesson from her.
My cousin was just getting his life on track when it all fell apart. He took a vacation down in Atlantic City. It would be the last vacation he would every take. Two waves hit him and knocked him on his face against the sandy bottom and paralyzed him for life. This was Aug 2,2005 to this date he still has not gained full use of his arms ,hands, legs or any other part of his body. He has ended up in a nursing homewhic is the worst place for a quadriplegic. They are not trained to handle his needs. He needs to be worked on at least three times a week with different exercises to strengthen his muscles. Everyday he does not receive this help, is a day that he will never be better. If we do not get him out of there soon or get him the help he needs he will always be a quad. That is a horrible way of living. He has to depend on strangers to help him with everything. Just think how you would feel to be in his shoes. There are plenty of Allen’s out there. We all better take a stand to help them because each and everyone of us could be them. There before God goes I.
Another dear friend was just diagnosed with cancer. We don’t know how bad it is. Hopefully it is the beginning stages where it can be caught and cured quickly. She is a person that it always there for others never caring for herself. This may sound bitter I will be curious to see how many of her friends go out of their way for her. I know my wife and I will. We love her.
The GOOD
My wife, I thank G-D for her. Every day I get up and she is there under the covers and every day the first thing out of her mouth is how you feel. She asked me that because I suffer with real bad allergies. She has brought light in to a dark existence. Even though my daughter was my light I needed more in my life. My wife brought that with her. She is what I had been asking for all my life and I finally feel complete. She is the humor the joy, support and love I have longed for. Thank you G-D for this gift of all gifts. I promise not to take it in vain and to treat her with all the love and respect she deserves
My daughter: She was always my greatest joy in my life, Throughout my whole life even though we had our moments. I loved her with all my heart and soul. She always made me proud to be her father even thought she didn't think so. Your were the one steady thing in my life when I needed happiness. When I needed to laugh you always made me laugh. Just stay the way you are. There is nothing you can do that will make me feel different.
Now my daughter has given my wife and me two wonderful grandchildren and the third on the way. She truly is my joy in life.
My mother who always stood by me no matter what I put her through and trust me, I put her through hell. From stealing a car to cutting school, stealing money from her wallet and other items from the house. I also moved in with my father only several blocks away, only because she wouldn't let me do what I wanted. Through everything she always stood by me and encouraged me to do my best. She married a man that would end up being my dad not just a father. Anyone can father a child as they say it takes a special man to be a dad. Ben was that Dad my one and only. Through him I have learn a lot of important lesson. I only wish I could be half the man he was. Mom, you did a great job raising all three of us and better job of choosing a real dad for us to emulate.
In closing, I have to admit that all the Good and Bad in our lives they're there for a reason to teach us all life lessons. To make us better in our life and to give us something to look back on and pull from in the future.
It is said the G-D will not give us more that we can handle. Sometimes I agree and others times I question it. But who am I to question G-D?

I don't understand
This whole country was up in arms over a President getting a little extra at the White House. I feel that was an issue between the family not America. If we only knew what our dear President Kennedy did in the same white house would we have not complained as much back then? This country was more forgiving at that time. There hasn't been a time in history that a sitting President didn't have a affair.
Yet. we have a president in office that is leading us down a path of destruction with his own self centered agenda. He has gotten us in a war that we will never win and that we can't pull out of. He did this just to prove a point. That's what you call a dangerous man and no one is calling for him to be impeached. Not even after he leaked stories that could have had someone killed. Someone who did not agree with him. Mr Bush should of never become president of anything let alone the USA. Here is a man that everything he has touched has turned to crap. His oil business, his baseball team. Daddy had to bail him out. Well daddy can't bail him out of this one. The people of the United States of America will and it will cost us plenty.
