                    But that was way back in 1991.  He didn't die of heart attacks, after all.  He was shot and killed by some robbers a few years later.

                    Oh, yeah ~ I totally fell apart before he ever even died.

                    solo,
                
                I'm sorry that I completely missed the WAY you were saying that, I  wondered if maybe that's what you meant but didn't want to assume.  Emotional response or not it was an HONEST one which I think is truly  important.

                    Actually, I think my response was more detrimental to my personal progress than helpful, but it was an emotional response more than anything.

                I'm sorry that your dad suffered heartattacks, but glad for you that it helped to refocus your priorities. Thanks for reading

                    Yes, when my dad began having heart attacks, I changed completely.  I ceased to be the super achiever and went my own, silly way.

                I cannot imagine battling 2 brain tumors. What strength your friend  must have. Thankyou for reading, and for your supportive comments.

                I think you are right about man being adaptable. It's just unfortunate  that it often takes such an extreme act to make us realize that. Thanks  for reading

                    my best friend has battled 2 brain tumors
                
                the first was when he was very young - the second this past year.  he told me the worst part of the cancer was people sharing their "cancer stories" with him about people they knew.  he asked me to remain the ignorant bitch that i always was and not turn into an android like everyone else did.  it is very difficult to talk to someone dealing with such an illness - you will find a way - take care.

                    Man is the most adaptable creature . He learns to adjust and accept 
                
                all situations gradually with calmness and fortitude. Good post .
