In Sept. 2003 my youngest son came home in the first group to go on R&R from Iraq. He had been wounded there in June but stayed on duty. We were to be told that my oldest son had lung cancer and was given only 6 months at most because the cancer was inoperable. The youngest returned to Iraq, the oldest began chemo. Faith and a positive attitude gave the oldest son two more years. He was 41. Like you, I am sure, he was a beautiful soul. I have his daughter - who looks just like him - to keep me laughing like he did. Keep your spirits up, remember to laugh - a lot!!!! Attitude, prayers and faith are over 50% of the battle. Know that there are many people that have you on their prayer lists and are wishing you well every day.
