Hearing Damage

He has a friend with cancer, that's been known for months now. He found out this week his friend isn't going to survive it. His cancer friend figures to have 3 months to live. The chemotherapy didn't work and the doctors don't really know what else to do. What to do with such information? Should he just accept the news and come to terms with it or should he defy it and hope something positive will happen? He and some others went over to his cancer friends house tonight to watch a hockey game. His cancer friend can barely talk, he can't move his right arm, he's in tremendous pain and has to take pills 10 times more effective then morphine. Sometimes his friend puts his head down on a cushion, closes his eyes and groans a little, causing the rest to look at each other to see if this is normal. It is. The other friends talk about some of the things they can take the cancer friend to one last time. The strip club, a hockey game, a casino. On the car ride back from his cancer friends house he thinks about what he might do. What's more important? Spending the last moments of your life with friends and family or doing things you've never had the chance to do like see the world? His initial reaction is to see the world one last time, but maybe his cancer friend is right. Maybe just enjoying the little things one last time is the way to go. There is no right answer. He is sad. The sun rises.
