Not funny. She was told she could take treatment and maybe have a year, or go without and have a few months. At first, she wasn't going to have treatment - chemo and radiation meant no more playing in the sun, on the water, being active outdoors where she loved to be.<br /><br />My response to the news? "Well..at least she won't have to worry about skin cancer." Yep. We laughed until tears rolled down our faces...<br /><br />Well...maybe it's not that funny unless you were there...<br /><br />Thanks for the terrific quotes...<br /><br />Shade and Sweetwater,<br />KKyddrynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07668797984157146798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-1262034389402451382009-10-21T12:27:34.914-05:002009-10-21T12:27:34.914-05:00Hey ER...

Me I laugh as much as I can and its mostly at me and the things I do these days. I do try to bring laughter to others as often as I can.<br />Coffee sounds delightful as the morning is brisk.

I laugh inside often, and smile a lot, but the big, loud belly laughs don't come as easily to me as some others. But, oh so much better than those phony throw your head back snorts that some I know can do! Yuk! And my DH can cry more easily in a movie than I, and he's the dearer to me for doing so. Let's sit back with coffee and laugh at some more "rememberings", ok? And no "while you're ups"!Baby Sisnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-20228954103498135092009-10-21T06:47:04.808-05:002009-10-21T06:47:04.808-05:00You've probably seen this, but just in case: ...You've probably seen this, but just in case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I_mBLWpdwnI<br /><br />Enjoy your coffee.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2474304103076898115.post-88121936562955695832009-10-21T06:14:25.433-05:002009-10-21T06:14:25.433-05:00Great quotes and I agree with your perspective abo...Great quotes and I agree with your perspective about crying and laughing.
