[QUOTE="Tanya M, post: 673567, member: 18516"] Our lives here are but a vapor and with each passing year I am reminded how quickly time passes. My husband and I went to his cousins for Thanksgiving dinner. I knew it would be somewhat a somber day, you see his cousin who is only 65 is dying from lung cancer. I so admire her spirit as she lives each day with her heart full of love and gratitude. She no longer has the energy to cook yet she was determined to host this dinner. She ordered a full course meal from a local grocery store and it was very good. You see, it doesn't matter if one cooks the most magnificent meal or over cooks the turkey, what matters is time spent with people we love, people who have made an impact on our lives. For us here on this site, having a heart full of love and gratitude may not come easy because of all we have been through in dealing with our d-cs. Our hearts can become hardened and we can be jaded and skeptical. Life is too short to let what we have been through with our d-cs to define us. We deserve better and must detach from all that holds us back from living a life where our hearts can and should be full of love and gratitude. I am so grateful for this site as it offers a place where we can share the hurts of our hearts and get understanding and compassion from others who know what we are going through. It's a place that offers hope that we can live a happy and full life despite the chaos our d-cs live in. Life is to short, none of us know how many more days or years will have. We only have the moment we are in and we get to choose how we live in that moment. I choose gratitude, I choose love, I choose peace. [/QUOTE]
