Numbers and statistics - that's what Doctors know...

Sitting in the kitchen enjoying my morning tea and thinking about life... There's been a lot of that lately... thinking that is...

I dropped Danny off at the airport this morning and won't see him for a few weeks.  He is going back to the U.S. to spend time with one of his best friends who got a really tough cancer diagnosis a couple of months ago.  Danny was able to spend a few days with him at the hospital before he joined us in Sweden and will now have a bit more quality time with him - out of the hospital, following his friend's needs and wishes.  Not a day has gone by without us thinking and talking about our friend.  He will have his 40th birthday at the end of this month and according to medical knowledge and statistics only has a couple of months left.  It is heart breaking and unfair!!!

At the same time I just have an undying need to stay positive.  My daughter, Skyler said the other day, when we were talking about Pappa's friend... "-but he's going to be a miracle!"   And that's it!  Out of a child's mouth it's just that simple!  Just like we keep saying about my Mother's diagnosis - The doctors will speak to you in numbers and statistics, because that's their job and that's all they know!  Just like a child I will never stop believing in miracles!

- I just love it's strength and perseverance!
We love you, "Señor G"
