Being a minister I find the biggest lament at the time of death or near death is time. Time spent with loved ones should always be cherished. It doesn't matter if it's one second, minute, hours or days. We don't live our lives in waste of what might have been. You always hear quality over quantity. Now, I'm lucky to have both.J.L.

He's been diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gherig's). It will be rocky no matter what, but any story about beating those odds and defying the time frames is a positive one in my book, even though it will mean longer taking care of him. I hope you and your husband get plenty of quality time together, and I wish you good luck with future publishing endeavors.<br /><br />Shannon at <a href="http://thewarriormuse.com/" rel="nofollow">The Warrior Muse</a> Shannon Lawrencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00934641808195675935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1904685628370887899.post-59223232343376816792013-04-01T14:55:42.337-04:002013-04-01T14:55:42.337-04:00Good for you for taking advantage of all your opti...Good for you for taking advantage of all your options!
