What's Important

With renewed strength my mind has come back to life and a recurring theme today has been that there just ain't many important things in life. I feel liberated and carefree. Guy cuts you off? Who cares. Business deal goes South. There are others. Eli wants a hug? I held on for a full two minutes (as long as he would let me) and if Heaven and love can be wrapped into a physical feeling, then I felt it at that moment. Now that's important. That's living.

Have fun. Smile. Plow on.

Thanks for the reminder indeed. I don't know if the sheer will of your friends can wipe a PET scan clear, but if it can, it will be clear indeed. We are all with you and your family in spirit tomorrow!! Dana

That beautifully and simply articulated recognition dampens this mother's eyes.

Love and health are the core.

Yeah ELI!!

Your last entry made me tear up - and as some say it still ain't cool to cry. Like you said - there ain't many important things in life - but an Eli hug - priceless! Whatever news you receive tomorrow - be it great or not so great - I have confidence that you WILL beat this thing eventually. Not certain why I have the confidence - but I'm never wrong - ask my wife. :)

Keep plowing on David. These things are all true. And will be true when you are cured. You'll have lots more hugs in your future! XO EAH
