bluntness

Forgive the bluntness of this e-mail. 
Something's in life just suck, there is no other polite way to say it.  This is one of those things. 

Life, everyone's life has a beginning and an end.  That's just a fact.  But if we are lucky there is also a really great middle filled with countless smiles, laughs, tears and anything else you decide to squeeze in.  Adele's beginning was sweet, the middle was lived to the fullest and the end will be because of stage four lung cancer. 

No matter how "normal" her blood counts get, or how low her dependency becomes on the breathing tube she still has a very large tumor that is not going away.  There may come a time when the doctors advice will be to do no more....no more chemo, no more blood pressure medicine, no more breathing tube.  This is just the reality of the situation and it wouldn't be right not to share the good as well as the bad.


When you are sorrowful look again in your heart, and you shall see that in truth you are weeping for that which has been your delight.  ~Kahlil Gibran
