Deciding to live...

Reading over the posts from the past week I am shocked about how I have seemingly let myself become obsessed with dying and death. I have decided to stop dwelling on that and focus more on living and life. After all Aunty is still here with us.

I have read many stories of colon cancer survival and colon cancer memorials. Most cancer patients seem to spend time trying to prolong life by weeks, months or years. There is a trade off for this; life quality diminishes. Life is that precious. If people can accept it with all the pain and discomfort that the therapies convey. The bottom line it’s not my choice and only Aunty can make the decisions that need to be made. In the mean time we will make the most of the time we have with her. Life is to be lived… The new movie by Queen Latifa I think hits the nail on the head. What if you were told you had three weeks to live? How about four months, five years? AT what point do you decide to start really living life? We never know when our life will end so we need to live life to the fullest always.
On that note I am going to make the most of my life. I promise to hug my kids more often, be more patient and understanding to my chaotic household, and not sweat the small things. Basically I am reaffirming my motto and live my life for the Love of My Family
