My first Christmas with cancer. Of course, I wonder if this is the last Christmas I will experience. I realize it could be. Recent life has taught me to live with a great deal of uncertainty. I did my best to enjoy and relish the experience this year.
Why shouldn't we do that all the time? Everyone has a terminal disease called life. No one knows if this was their last Christmas or not. Sure, my chances are better than some, but that's just the odds. Life often defies the odds.
So the takeaway is to live close to the bone with the life you have. Love hard the ones close to you and let them know it. Don't let love go unspoken or unexperienced. Say it, just say it, show it, just show it, do it, just do it - don't wait. Say it, show it, do it, now. This may be your last Christmas. This may be theirs.
