I suppuse going through something like this should make us all cherish life a little more. {my husband has been diagnosed with GBM of the brainstem, 16 months to live they say} My family is living each day as if it were our  last and I mean that in a positive sense. Seize the day. Love life and give plenty of hugs and kisses.  God Bless for the future, Anita. lab-lady Sat, 21 Jul 2007 00:00:00 GMT
