At our family gatherings on Christ's Birthday, before we dive into the Christmas feast, we each in turn , as I'm sure many of you do as well, offer something to be thankful for. The proclaimations usually go something like this; "I'm thankful for the new grandchildren", "our new home", "the new car we always wanted", "having the mortgage finally paid off", "that latest job promotion", etc.

Having this disease has changed me in so many profound ways. This year, my mantra will go something like this;

"I'm thankful that God watched over me and my surgeon and gave him the skill and guided his hands to remove this cancer.

I'm thankful that God gave me the strength to deal with it . . .and to survive it.

And, I'm very thankful for each day that God allows me the priviledge of opening my eyes to enjoy HIS gift of a new day and to share in HIS gift of time with my family!"

If having this disease has taught me anything, it is that it doesn't make any difference who you are; it doesn't make any difference how much money you've got in the bank, how many degrees you have or what you do for a living, nor does it matter what possessions you have acquired in your life. What makes the difference is - you have one more day of life. What a terriffic Christmas gift!

Regards to all for a Merry Christmas and a Wonderful 2007;

George

Hello George,

I couldn't agree with you more; the PCa experience has been a humbling and sometimes scary journey. We have been blessed by God every day that we now enjoy. A Merry Christmas to you and your family, and a Happy New Year.
