I`ll start w/apersonal story: in 1977 my mother contracted cancer, I swore she`d not see her 78 th birthday, during treatment she had a reaction to the radiation, kinda like a stroke. two days after this her brother died, of a stroke. about three weeks later as she was getting better i took her down to the coffee shop, we were on the elevator, she said do you have something you want to tell me. I said no I can`t think of a thing, she said well maybe there is something you should tell me, I said gee mom can`t think of thing. the elevator stopped, the door opened, and I thought boy am out of this one. Well she turned the wheel chair around and said why didn`t you tell me uncle Art died.? I said well mom you had enough troubles of your own. and asked her who told her, she said "he did: it was two days after I got so sick, he came to the foot of my bed , and said well sis I had a stroke, and am gone, but don`t worry I am fine. And no
matter what they say, you hang in there,everythings going to be ok. Well they were giving her six months of quality life, and a year at the outside, she went home and worked for two years, and I had her in a nursing home here for 4 more .she passed away at 83 .The six months turned into 6 years, so here`s gods work in progress, this true, and believe me I know there is a life here after. you are in my prayers always,and hope to see you there, humm a few bars for me then , your friend Blindman Joe
