There's a guy that's been coming into our office for the last few months asking for help. He usually needs help with things like gas and food. We've been helping him as much as we can with a few bucks here and there. He has stomach cancer (with a hole in his belly to prove it). He's had it since 2004 and it's been an up and down roller coaster ride of remission and resurgence. He can't walk straight because of the hole in his stomach so he walks with a Quasimodo-like posture. He can't eat solid food because of his cancer. He's gone as many as 8 or 9 days at a time without eating because he just isn't hungry sometimes. He used to weigh around 250 pounds, but now weighs about 140. A year and a half ago he had a stroke which has left him with a stutter. About six months ago he actually died from a heart attack in his grand-daughter's living room, but her husband gave him CPR and brought him back. Let all of that sink in for a minute.

Son, Read your previous blog entry on your discontentment. I'm not saying they are related, but hmmm. You will do the right thing. You may be one of the most pessimistic individuals I know, but you are also, one of the most compassionate. This gentleman was placed in your life for a reason.
