There is always time- Right???!

Over the last few weeks I've had many ideas about things to write on this blog, but then didn't write them down... let me tell you they were deep, profound and meaningful.

Today's blog post is about death. Yes I know it's very uplifting isn't it. I would like to know what you all think about death. What happens, how it happens and why? The three major things that have been rattling my little pea size brain for a little while. Since dad has been diagnosed with small cell lung cancer and is literally more than half way through his chemotherapy treatments, basically overcome the 3 brain tumors that he had, a blood clot in his right leg and is struggling to maintain his appetite- death has been on my mind.

I feel that dad and I are too young to be going though this business, to young to make wills and power of attorney's, too young to be taking an early retirement and to young not to be married with grandchildren running around dad's feet. (I know I don't want children - and think that there is always time-is there though?). There is always time. as I say out loud to myself.

Dad has good bloods, will undergo radiation on his lungs after chemo and will regain his appetite and want to cook again. There is always time. Isn't there?

Where does someone go after they die? I think that our soul, if you want to use that term -lives on until it learns, teachs, lives what it is supposed to learn, live and teach- then moves on to be another soul to teach others. It's something I've always thought and believe in. I would like to know what you out there think about things? Spiritual, or not- what you all believe in is important to me. The one person that I haven't asked is Dad.

I hope he doesn't get mad at me or clam up on me. I really haven't thought about asking dad what he thinks until just now, I haven't thought about when i'll bring it up- however, I think that he wouldn't appreciate me writing about this on a blog... very inpersonal.

PS. Don't watch 6 feet under when someone has cancer in the family... (just trying to make lite of the situation- can't be dark and gloomy ALL THE TIME). esp. under the circumstances.

8:53 pm - watching 6th feet under and it is relevent to my topic above. i will psot my thoughts later.
