I remember very well that morning, forty-five years ago, on the occasion of my twenty-fifth birthday, being awoken by my father’s loud voice, “Congratulations, kid you’re on the downhill to fifty!
By my perverted way of looking at things, it is a downhill slide from here to one hundred and forty!
Thanks again, all, for making this a wonderful life. So far…
It has been just over a year now since cancer was first indicated. It took a couple of months to confirm, and treatment started in January 2020. Treatment phase ended in August, and we moved on to the rehabilitation phase. If you combine this with the Covid pandemic, 2020 has been quite a ride.
A year later, I am free of lymphoma and have completed the first seventy years of a wonderful life. I want to take this opportunity to profoundly thank everyone. My family, my health care providers, my friends, my associates, thank you, thank you all. The love, support, and prayers I have received remind me of how blessed life is.
The more you age, the harder you have to work at staying healthy. However, aging and getting older are not the same thing. A serious disease requires your full attention, top priority, and maximum effort.
