Life is hard, there’s no way to predict what’s going to happen. Someone could back out of their driveway tomorrow and mow me down, and I would be dead before you. Right now is all anybody has. Right this minute. And yes, this diagnosis is unspeakably cruel and living with it will be a daily struggle, but as long as the good days outnumber the bad - you gotta live those days. Why would you give up rocky-road ice cream before you have to? Or swimming in the ocean or driving? God, driving with the top down on a sunny day? That has got to be worth living for.
