Some Sad News
Just thought I'd share some sad news with my Patriotfiles family.
My older brother Arvid is a retired school teacher. He's 65. He has always been a physical fitness nut. Kept his weight down, ran 4 - 6 miles everyday, worked out with the weights and his blood pressure was always great, his cholestral was always perfect. Two and half years ago he had a seizure while doing his morning run. They found out he has brain cancer, a very rare form of brain cancer and no one knows just why people get it. Only 1 in 15,000 people ever get this cancer. It is also a very fast acting cancer. He had two brain surgeries, chemotherapy, and radiation. Just before Christmas they found out the cancer is growing at a very fast pace. My Sister-In-Law called Monday evening to tell me that they have given my brother about two - four months to live. So Monday was a sad evening in our household. We always thought my brother would out live us all because he took care of himself so well. He also prepared well for retirement with investments and owning his own home. But, now that seems such a small thing. It brings back the reality to all of us. Life is short and unpredictable. The one good thing about Arvid is that he lived an honorable life, and most important he love God and accepted Jesus as his Lord and Savior years ago. Well, when you have the time say a prayer for my brother and his family. I know that Robert Ryan and Sandy "MarineAO" also have spouses which are fighting cancer. We all know what Annette went through with Andy. It sure is good to have a family aroung when life gets tough. Keith
