Well, guys I went to the Children's Hospital today. I bought 4 dozen roses
and took a picture of Rolex with me. I visited the Cancer floor first.
27
kids, 10 years old or younger with Cancer. Christ, and I think I have
problems. It was lunch time, and I asked the Administrator if I could
have
lunch with the kids and talk to them. She had no problems with that. We
all had Spaghetti and meat balls. And actually it wasn't that bad...who
am
I kidding? It was the worst I ever had :) We had a long table for all of
us. Every child got a Rose. And they just LOVED Rolex. I told them he
was
at the Rainbow Bridge waiting for me. I told them he passed away two
weeks
ago, today. You can see some of them tearing up. It broke my heart.
Next floor was children infected with the HIV Virus. What on God's earth,
did these children do to deserve this horrible thing? They were so cute
and
thankful for their roses. One 7 year old girl told me that when she dies
soon she is going to look for Rolex and keep him company till I arrive.
How
can I not cry right then and there? She cried with me, too. I felt bad.
I
was supposed to cheer them up. I kissed her and left.
I don't know if I feel better. Actually, I really don't. But every time
I
visit the hospital, and see these innocent kids, it sure puts things in
perspective.
David, thank you for reminding to do this. I needed to do it
I want to thank all of you again for all your kind words. you guys ROCK.
And so do I. Look at my meter, still intact:
I have been kicking Camel's Ass for 11 Months, 2 Weeks, 4 Days, 21 hours
and
20 minutes (353 days). But I don't know what happened to the $3,096.52 I
saved by not smoking 17,694 cigarettes. I have recovered 2 Months, 10
hours
and 30 minutes of my life.
