Life is short

Your Life Is on Loan

The man was just twenty-nine years old. It was in the newspaper some time

ago. He was married, and had three kids. All three kids were under five

years of age. He is an attorney in Illinois. One day he woke up with a

headache. As the day went on, it got more painful. Then he had difficulty

seeing. Then he had difficulty walking. He went to the doctor. The doctor

said, "You have a brain tumor that will require special surgery right away.

If you survive the surgery, then there could be a critical time of recovery

for about a year. If you survive that, then each year after that you can be

more assured of a full recovery." He made it through the surgery. He made it

through that first year. Then he had this interview. A reporter asked him,

"Have you learned anything through this?" He said, "Your life is on loan."
