Let us say a prayer for Russell and his son...
"Well....I don't post here much anymore...but I wanted to ask people on this election day to keep what's important in front of them....what's really important.
Is it the budget deficit?
Gay marriage?
National Security?
Roe v. Wade?
Tax rates?
No....it's about life...and family.....
You see my wife and I were told today that our middle child Jake, who is 3 years old has Ewing's Sarcoma....a very aggressive bone cancer. We have been building up to this for 3 weeks and even still hearing those words felt like a sword going through my sternum....sideways. We had conversations that didn't feel real, that seemed like a movie, except without the happy ending from a magical cure.
We don't know what stage it is in, and won't until he is in for a PET/CT scan later this week. At that point we will face real evil in the face.
So tomorrow when you get your blood pressure up about some a** hole that is voting for Obama/Romney/Johnson....etc....remember that it isn't what matters. What matters are the people who will be there for you no matter what in life, through thick and thin.
At the end of the day I have a challenge for each of you.
When you get home, tell your wife/husband/child/mother/father/brother that you love them. Give them a hug and tell them how much they mean to you. Life is short, and it isn't promised. My son is 3 years old and may stare death in the face. Tomorrow isn't promised, say what you mean, say it now, and say it often.
It's just an election people"....
Russell
