I am so sorry for your DH's friends diagnosis. I think we would all do well to adopt his insights. I wish him well.

What she said, so well.

Ditter, this touches my heart. My brother's girlfriend has had this for 3 years and I marvel at her insistence at enjoying her life and giving so much happiness to everyone she knows. I love her so much!

so true..got to see this up close and personal..

When I was a Hospice nurse, one of my treasured patients had multiple myeloma. He lived longer than was expected so I had quite a while to get to know him. He was in his late 30's. Precious person with a horrible disease.

Your friend's list is wonderful. We should all take that to heart and try it.

May God Bless him. I am glad he has friends to be there for him during this difficult time. God Bless you and your husband also! Hugs, Sandy

Wow. Talk about an inspiration. God BLess him and his family.

my brother in law passed away from this disease he lived his life to the fullest every moment he could good luck to your friend and God Bless all who have this horrible disease

We should all live this way. God bless him and bring him comfort. Prayers are being sent.
