There is so much to life, just look at all the meanings that are there! Recently, terrible news reached me. A very old friend and someone i looked up to has just contracted stage 4 intestinal cancer, according to the doctors, he has around 6-12 months to live. At the moment we'll all praying that God will heal him and protect him. I suppose one doesnt know what one has until one comes close to losing it.
