Since September 2006... My close friend's Father passed from cancer My neighbor's daughter passed cerviacal cancer - (she had just turned 40) My Hubby's Aunt passed from lung cancer My Aunt had a masectomy - (she is doing fine) My Father had a triple bypass (he is doing fine) My Uncle had to have surgery - holes drilled into his skull to relive pressure from a previous head injury from falling. (he is doing fine!) I had to have a biopsy done - (results were benign) My close friend, (like a sister to me), passed away unexpectedly I had to have surgery done (results were benign) Kinda taking an inventory of sorts from last year when things started to seem to be non-stop bad news...I had been so glad to see the end of 2006 finally end, and thought WHEW! a new year, and it is OVER! ..but no...there was the passing of my dear friend, and my surgery that began the 2007 year for me. I'm taking the good with the bad...everyone who had surgeries etc. are all fine, including me. PTL! But I am ready for "my turn" to be over, and looking forward to better news in the future! Since September, it reminds me of that quote from Mother Teresa - "I know God will not give me anything I can't handle. I just wish that He didn't trust me so much."
