Prayers have been answered the cancer is gone from my brother’s throat. I am so happy I could shout from the mountaintops. That is one scare I “DO NOT” want to go through again. Momma Said, “Take care of yourself and believe there is someone looking out for you even if you don’t want to accept it.”
I do believe I have a Guardian Angel because there have been some instances when I should not still be here. There have been so many close calls in my life that there has to be something more than luck riding on my side. And this has been going on my whole life, from early childhood I can remember times when I was just in the right place at the right time.
I will take that angel riding on my shoulder any day of the week, she can stay right with me and I will appreciate all she does for me. Some times in my life she has been pretty busy and I look back now and wonder what the heck I was doing at the time. Momma Said, “That stupid saying comes to mind, Hey Watch This, and I could kick myself.”
I have grown up a lot and now it is Brother’s turn, how he can look at this and not change his way of life is something to be seen. He has to do a lot of soul searching and ask himself if he wants to go through this ordeal again, my answer would be a definite no, no, no.
