Seize today for it is a gift

Dad's cancer has not responded to treatment and has grown. His doctor has referred him to Hospice.

This was the worst news we could get yet as he said to me today, "I not going to die today and it's time to start living." He is catching up on calls to family today and spending time with Nikki tonight. He and I are heading to the beach house tomorrow and we are excited about getting into some much needed living.

No one knows how much time he has ahead of him but really we all just need to treat everyday as the gift it is with him and each other.

From here on I will keep you all posted on his exploits and condition as we help him take it for all it's worth.

Peace and love, Jack III

  2. This day is all of the glory and wonder that we make of it. Your spirits will carry you through these choppy waves and you will find love and peace on the sandy shores ahead. Throw a few rocks and twigs at the sea for the rest of us! Rev. Cliff.)
