     original
To many times was going to be written on my tombstone one day,taking to many chances I did ,I was forty give right now and had had discovered that I had cancer and three months to live outside,I prayed I hoped but everyone told me there was no cure at all. so with that in mind I would give up and die quietly or take all the radiation treatments they had had which would be pointless anyway I figure three months what the hell why not live it,so as the first month went by I did all sorts of things,skiing, parachute jumping ,high gliding ,scuba diving, then the second month I relax more contemplated read and study I thank God for the life he gave me and during the third month I found a nice wooded area I use to go hiking on with friends then when I was younger especially one particular friend Joceyn .I found my favorite tree we sat against and craved our names in I slowly sat down next to it, the cancer getting worse flowing through my body I had a good life it wasn't so bad after all, now I took one more breath coughing and spitting up blood, I lay my head back against the tree and slowly my eyes closed thanking God for the life I had and God bless my family and friends for helping me when they did, Amen.end
