Dear Cindy,

Got your card today, thank you. I will keep you posted, I am going to be 
released May 21st, but that date has changed a few times. When in the summer 
were you planning on going to Maine?


This week was a difficult one for me as I learned that Donald Daney my best 
friend since I was 5 years old died. I was less than a month from being out; I 
did not even consider the possibility that I would not see him alive.


You wrote, aC IaC m glad you have such a great attitude about everything.aC  
Cindy, a terminal cancer diagnosis may be the end of the world to one person, a 
time to surrender to God for another, a call to battle for yet another. For me 
itaC s a challenge, it is the call to battle for life.. The primeval urge to 
survive at almost any cost is at the root of my response to that challenge.


Terminal cancer is a serious crisis, but isnaC t life a matter of adapting to 
one challenge after another? And even if I canaC t beat this, there is no reason
why I cannot maintain a fine quality of life during this life-threatening 
crisis. A diagnosis of terminal cancer with a future date of death does not 
demand that I stop living today.
