Before and after pictures of people and their pets. SO CUTE.
Doesn't matter that we took him off that boat, Shepherd, it's the place he's going to live from now on.

Our wings are not tired
Dad's cancer was ver aggressive. One month from when we found out to when he died. There was a plan to start treatment but he never got to that. When digging through papers after his death I found a diagnosis from a doctor from about two months before we all found out. With a little research it was clear that the small lesion that they found on his he'd in April was a death sentence. As Dad was a doctor he knew that. For whatever reason he kept that to himself until he had to go to the hospital two month later due to pain and then we all got the diagnosis of brain cancer that has already metastasized to heart, liver, lung, and lymph. Word was he would probably get six to eight months with treatment. He got one.
I have guesses as to why he kept it all to himself for two months, but I will never really know why. I also regret not just being in San Diego for that last month but I thought I had more time. That was a mistake.
Still I will take the cancer that got my Dad over the more than a decade decline into dementia and no mobility that my Mom is still going through.

Best side effect ever, Connie! I hope they're all equally, usefully, anomalous.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
Wow, Connie!
I don't know if I can really add to that, it's so huge.

Sometimes side effects can be positive, though that's definitely not the way to bet. Fingers crossed, though.

Amazing!
