Upon entering Blockbuster yesterday, I came across several movies that sparked my interest.  But there is one in particular, that appeared to be more prominent over the others.  Generally I am completely biased against movies about Cancer, but for whatever reason I decided to put my problems aside and rent this one.  To make it a long story short, the movie was phenomenal.  "Bucket List" demonstrates true growth and discovery in the life of a cancer patient.  The story line was quite gripping for me, as I'm sure it would be for the rest of you. 

You see, I jump back and forth between being grateful for my disease, and despising it with every bone in my body.  There's a large part of me that can only dream of what it would be like to have a life free of cancer and live as a normal 'kid'.  There's another part of me though that is thankful for the doors that it has closed and the doors it has opened,  as well as the relationships I have built with you. But each day is different, and despite the fact that I'm in remission... Cancer still rules over me and controls my perceptions/feelings on suffering and on living.  The honorable author C.S. Lewis once said, "We read to know we're not alone."  I found this statement to be true for movies as well last night , after having watched the "Bucket List."  And that is the truth in why I rented that particular movie.  Not for the pleasure of watching it, or my appreciation for Jack Nicholson's smart-ass personality... but it was merely to know I wasn't alone.  Afterall isn't that the reason we are all members of Life Linkage?  Isn't that the reason we post the details of our battles, medical updates, and emotional progresses day in and day out? I believe so ladies and gentlemen.  So blessed be the tide that binds.

God Bless my fellow comrades
