My Friend Bill (2)

It's been almost 18 months since I posted "My Friend Bill."  It was indeed a memorable event (that birthday party after the shocking news), and I've made every effort to schedule time to visit Bill every 2-3 months over the past 18 months...  It's really hard to explain, but I am glad I did it and I am determined to continue to do so.

I went to visit Bill again today.  Against all odds, he is still doing great, as he has been for the past 18 months.  I told him that he is a living miracle to survive the pancreatic cancer, and I am just so happy to see him being healthy and well.  I can tell you this -- his recovery has everything to do with his high spirit and the current stress-free life style.

He reflected on how he felt when he first got the diagnosis and how he went through treatments worrying about his family...  When you think about it, the chance of surviving an inoperable pancreatic cancer is pretty slim, and he is so lucky to be one of the very few survivors.  Life is indeed fragile and unpredictable.  We just need to cherish every moment we have and live it fully.  

Live the life we love and love the life we live!!
