"Star light, star bright,
The first star I see tonight;
I wish I may, I wish I might,
Have the wish I wish tonight"
As we are almost a week before Christmas,
this suddenly has turned into a very bittersweet
holiday for Alex and myself.
Cancer - I truly hate this word,
this disease, has reared it's ugly
head yet again for one of our
friends - a 51 yr.old man, who
has a wife and two teenage kids.
His wife is at a loss, she said to a friend -
"how do you tell the love of your life, he
doesn't have much longer to live?"
When she asked the doctors what she
should do, they told her to get his affairs
in order and enjoy some family time,
it won't be a long time, maybe not
even a week.
This cancer has been relentless the past few years,
not only in my world, but alot of yours too.
I am getting tired of that word.
I have lost too many friends to that word.
So if I can have one wish on those gorgeous
stars, it would be to wipe this horrible
disease off the planet for good.
"Star light, star bright
the first star I see tonight
I wish I may, I wish I might
Have this wish I wish tonight."
