Yesterday


Seems here lately so many people that we know either have died of cancer are have it. With all the great an wonderful technology how come this has not been cured. Dale called me yesterday from the road and told me Bob Elliott had passed away. Dale had worked with Bob nearly the entire time he's owned his business, and he thought very highly of him. He was a god fearing church going man and Dale held him in very high regard. Bob had faught cancer for at least 2 years. He had been in remission but the cancer returned last week and in a few days he was gone. Dale is not an emotional person but he was yesterday. He works with people every day some are nice some are not, well most are not. So he asked me why is it the nice people are the ones to go early and the ass holes are still here. You'd have to know my husband to know that's just how he talks. I really had no answer for him on that one. The only thing I can say is the good people go early because they are the good ones. The others are left here longer because they aren't nice people. Maybe it's their punishment who knows. I always try to look at things on the positive side and that's just the only positive thing I can think of. Another good person is enjoying a visit with the maker. What an awesome thing that must be. I know I'm not a church goer but I feel I have an understanding with him, we talk everyday and sometimes he leaves signs he's heard me. A rainbow, a rain shower, a butterfly, a beautiful sunset or sun rise. It's all there you just have to take the time to see it.
