< her daughter had cancer and died >

[rayheinrich]

Of cancer I’ll probably die
I’m an incessant smoker, that’s why.
I can’t seem to stop,
one day I will drop;
around me will buzz all the flies....


hope that's not a true story Ray....

True for a former neighbor of mine in Virginia.
Back here in Texas, my neighbor across the street lost
her daughter to a c-section that became infected with an
antibiotic-resistant bacterium. Her granddaughter, by the
way, is just fine. Just last week I loaned her red paint
(her choice) and a brush so she could paint the rocks along
her grandma's driveway.
