Jul and I started reading Leroy’s blog after seeing him on a Tedd Koppel documentary about living with cancer. He is one of the most open, honest, and articulate writers I’ve read in a long time. This morning’s post was no exception,

When I say that I found peace, I think I mean that I found a way to get rid of my anger. I don’t have the time for it, quite honestly. I think I’ve had a pretty good life. I know I have made mistakes, a lot of them. I know I have hurt people, and I haven’t always been the person I tried to be. But overall, I think I’ve been hugely fortunate. I’ve led a rich life. And I hope to live a lot longer. But if my life is cut short by cancer, or anything else for that matter, I guess I can accept it. After all, we aren’t really given a choice.
