Big C Bummer.......

I haven’t written anything about cancer for awhile now but Paul Newman just died from cancer.....it’s been a long time since I believed that actors were the people that y’see on-screen...but Paul Newman wuz an exceptional actor who seemed able to separate himself from his roles...he had a life off-screen...he raced cars, he created businesses (donated the profits which wuz admirable).. and he didn’t have to re-invent himself ev’ry few years...
I guess what I’m saying is that cancer don’t respect anyone...’n all over the country, heck, all over the world, people are fighting for their lives against cancer...more than one friend of mine from my school days, a college roomie of Millyrose, members of my extended family, too damn many people that I know are fighting cancer ‘n it’s frustrating......
I got a little experience with the big C......I wuz lucky ‘n I beat it.......at least, so far’s I know......I have to keep goin’ back for CT scans for a few years t’make sure it don’t come back on me but I wuz lucky ‘n I got a lot of support from fam’ly ‘n friends ‘n ..people I never met ‘n don’t really know and I’m grateful for that support.........
I guess I’m saying that I believe in the efficacy of prayer ‘n for all those who pray.....thank you.
