Jan, I've seen 43 summers, 24 years of my son's life, etc,etc. I've got a 4" scar at the base of my sternum where I was stabbed, a compressed vertebre in my back, impact nerve damage to my left leg. My younger brother has Marfan syndrome(rare muscle disease)& will be gone before me, my sister has MS, and my Mom's a cancer survivor.That's only some of it. I love the fact that every morning I wake up...Period. I won't get to do this again...Ever. I'm a hard working contractor and I love to take on the world and whatever it can throw at me. It does get tiring to give & endure, and we can only wake up again tomorrow & take on what comes. Jan, I love your artistic creations, and the person I know you as here in this forum. Two things will make it easier...Love & Laughter. My thoughts are with you. Rod
