[kygorski]

I really wasn't expecting to be around this morning. But I had a wondrfull care giver who pulled me through. the diarehea and nausea were unbelievable. I know it's going to get worse some day soon, but they even have more powerfull things to help me. But I wasn't afraidSo now I've got to try and build up a little strenght,so that I can walk over to sons house, and have a few puffs.

a Few Puffs? Are you serious? My father in Law had open heart surgery many years ago. He's no longer with this world. As soon at he got back home he was smoking cigarettes out in the back garage. He could barely breath. I saw my maternal grand father smoke and he died of emphysema. He was skin and bones when he died. He was a very big man before he got sick and lost so much weight. My mom and dad both smoked and so did I until I finally quit for good in 1993. My best advise to anyone is to never smoke and if you still smoke quit.

All the best to you and hope you are free of pain. It's good to have family around you at times like this. Your lucky to have a son that's living so close to you.

When life comes down to just breathing, what joy is there in that? As I've said many times, my worst days were better than many folks good days. I sometimes get the feeling that I was one of the "chosen"Never had luxury, and very minimal poverty.I had everything I needed. Why was I blessed? I've had miserable days being a care giver to folks facing terminal illness, but also thankfull in some respects that I was at least a little light at their ends. My feelings are that death is part of life, we ALL know it ends, I can look back and smile, and not be envious.

my friend, I like your outlook on life, we all die, it's just a matter of when, and you don't have to be old to die, we all are just a heart beat away from death, when God gets ready for us, we will leave this world, ready or not, my best friend i ever had was a preacher, I was sitting by his bed the night he died, before he passed away, he reached out to me and said, my friend don't let the Devil cheat you out of Heaven, that was many years ago, and even now when I remember him, I still think of the last words I ever heard him say to me. and now I go to church, I'm a christian on a strait and narrow road, that leads to Heaven. if I can endure to my last heartbeat, then I will be saved, thats what the bible says, those that endure to the end the same shall be saved, when I read in my bible about some of the men that spent their whole lives, trying to please God, it makes me feel bad, that I waited so long to put him first in my life, in the bible there was Abraham, a man that lived his life to please God, and God was so pleased with Abraham, that he called him his friend, and Moses lived good enough life before God, that he was known in the bible as the man, that spoke with God face to face, and there was Jacob, he lived his life to please God, and was known to be the apple of Gods eye. when I read about these men, I feel so small, like the line in the song, feel small when standing beside the ocean. you know as a man ages, most of if not all his family and friends have already gone on to be with Jesus, and it's sad to think about dying and leaving our children and grandchildren here, without us to help and protect them, but there are times when we get to thinking about all the folks we've known over our lifetime, and we feel like just going on and meeting them again, but that time will come to us all, when God is ready for us, yesterday is gone, we only have today there is no promise of tomorrow, thats why the Bible says today is the day of salvation, I do and will keep praying for everyone of my fishin.com sisters and brothers, and I leave to anyone reading this, the words my friend left me 16 years ago, don't let the Devil cheat you out of heaven,

We all have a time card to punch in and out in life, we never know when its time to punch out, we only know when we punch in. As long as you enjoy every moment you have here, its all good.

I agree with you 100% , life is to short not to enjoy it while we’re here, 80 plus years here is a long life, a few are blessed to live over a 100 years, now to us that would be living a long time, because time to us is measured by the clock and calendar, but to God, time means nothing, the Bible says a thousand years is like one day, that’s why while we’re enjoying life here in these flesh bodies, we need to only indulge in pleasures that Jesus would approve of, so when this life of every how many years we are given here is over, then we can live where time means nothing to us, we can live forever and ever, never age, no more sickness or sorrow, no more tears to cry, now that will be a happy life, i’ve Seen some beautiful places and man made things in my life, makes a person wonder how could anything be more beautiful, but the Bible says, the eye hasn’t seen or the ear hasn’t heard anything like what God has in store for those that love him,
