good times

Last night we went to Andy's parents for a hot dog roast. It was great. Denny Jo, her kids, Candace, and her kids all came. We were having such a good time the neighbors came over to eat as well. We live in a great community where impromptu outdoor meals can be shared with everyone around. I loved playing with little Max. He would toddle around growling, then when you growled back he would run away screaming. It was awesome. Andy has been doing really well. His pleurisy is better, as well as his pheumosis. (I doubt I spelled that right, but oh well) Someone ask us the other day how we could be so happy while Andy still has cancer. Our response was, No one knows when they are going to die. We all just need to learn to enjoy and appreciate the time we are given. Andy's cancer is unlikely to go away. We know what will take his life, however we have been given the miracle of a little more time. We are thankful for that. So why be depressed and always sad. I say use your time trying to be happy.(play, sing, laugh, go on adventures.) Life is full of disappointments, frustrations, unhappy people. Don't be one of them. Be optimistic, adventurous, loving, enduring, patient, and kind. It make a difference in the world. It makes a difference in those around us. That is what is important.
