CD, that rose pic is so beautiful. one of my best friends has an ovarian cancer ... they operated, but it came back ... such a sad story. I talked to her last night, she is in a hospital ... not being able to eat, throwing up all the time because of how sick she is (40yo) .... having a young daughter who can't comprehend what is going on ... my nerves are non existent right now. 
... going to have some whine to calm me down a bit
Alex - that's just terrible. I always think that health is the #1 thing that ever matters.
it is. I think we all, don't want to think about it. we tend to thinks 'it happens to someone else' ... my friend never smoked, never drank anything but water in her life, never even tried any drugs, being a swimmer all of her life ... eating healthy, being super fit, managed to have 2 completely different degrees (biology and art), and still ... she is a shadow of herself right now, it just breaks my heart especially because of her kid. I don't want to think about it, I just can't.
all I can say is, take care of yourself, your family, your friends, people you love ... try to enjoy every day as if it's the last one
