[QUOTE="Scent of Cedar *, post: 665536, member: 17461"] Maybe, it's like a wake up call, Copa. Another story. Back before I knew my sister was a terrible biatch, I was visiting. And we were invited to dinner at the home of a woman imminently dying of cancer. And I was uncertain about how to behave around that, but we did okay. As we left, the woman thanked me for coming with these words: "Thank you. It's been real." And then she said: "You know, none of us really knows how old we are. I have an illness and will die soon. It seems I am so much older than you. But you could be killed in a car accident on your way home, tonight. And you would have been older than me, closer to your mortality than me, all along. So what matters, whatever age we are and whatever our health status, is that real things happen in the time we give one another." So, that's what I thought about Copa, when you wondered about where you are in the long or shortness of time. You are coming real. Whatever happens next, that will be part of it. Real. Cedar It will be different for me and D H, of course. We are planning to eat kim chee. Do you think once would be enough? :O) [/QUOTE]
