The Importance of Making the Most of Your Life

My dad got lucky. Sometimes people do everything right and the disease still takes life far too fast. But my dad didn't think cancer would take him. Even when he only had a week left, he asked me how we would get him to football games in the fall. Some people thought he was crazy for talking about attending football games while in hospice. To me, it was just part of his vision. Arnold always talks about vision and my dad also believed in it and his vision didn't include death. He envisioned himself in that stadium and while he won't make it, that vision helped him go farther than any doctor said he would.
