My first Christmas with cancer. Of course, I wonder if this is the last Christmas I will experience. I realize it could be, but 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 that it will be my last, but that's just the odds. Life often defies the odds.
So the takeaway is 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, show it, do it - now. This may be your last Christmas. This may be theirs.
