Remembering The Worst Day Of My Life...August 18th 1998

Today is for my precious son Tony who died 8 years ago today from cancer, he was just 16 years old and full of life. I am very privileged in that I was able to see the man that my son would have grown into during the 8 months that he battled against this dreadful disease. During these months we became incredibly close, something that I will cherish for the rest of my life. He taught me a lot during this period, he only cried once during the whole ordeal when he asked me why it was him, he was only 16 he didn’t want to die! Every day he made me laugh, he was such an extrovert and everybody that met him loved him instantly, even the nurses argued as to who was look after him because they all wanted their time with him. What a huge ego boost for a 16 yr old lad! He once said that he was glad that it was him with cancer, and not me or his brother or sister, he said that he wouldn’t have been able to cope with that hurt!! How I so wish that it had of been the other way around and it had been me…….. 8 Years that feels like 8 days, and yet a lifetime ago ………. www.sadhouse.blogspot.com

I have to think, after reading your story, that he was the light that shined more brightly than others.

I have come to believe this disease will soon be eliminated as well as, to a large degree, death itself, due to nanotechnology, stem cell research, cloning, and robotics.

After a couple of cancer scares myself, I have come to realize we must live life consciously aware of making every moment count. Don't let others rule your life! It's very important that we all learn to really live.

My grandmother on my dad's side was 97-years old when I asked her what she would have done differently in her life. What she said made a huge impact on my lifestyle and in my mind forever. She said, "I wished I had had more fun." At that moment, I dedicated my life to living it in a way I wouldn't have say that to my grandchildren some day.

Your son has already been an inspiration to the many people who knew him, and now to me, through you.

Thank you for the great message you have portrayed in the story. Ted Bailey, radio DJ, TV host, and author.
