A Beautiful Post, Couldn’t Have Said It Any Better
I share my experiences for a lot of the same reasons. I don’t want attention or to make people feel bad, but there is an unrecognized group of people that are going through difficult situations. Cancer just became #2 leading causes of death, right behind heart diseases. Cures will one day be apart of our lives, it just needs to happen sooner rather than later.
From the CDC: Number of deaths for leading causes of death
- Heart disease: 611,105
- Cancer: 584,881
- Chronic lower respiratory diseases: 149,205
- Accidents (unintentional injuries): 130,557
- Stroke (cerebrovascular diseases): 128,978
- Alzheimer’s disease: 84,767
- Diabetes: 75,578
- Influenza and Pneumonia: 56,979
- Nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, and nephrosis: 47,112
- Intentional self-harm (suicide): 41,149
Interesting that I experienced 2 of the leading causes of death; stroke and cancer. Diabetes runs in my family and pneumonia is a common side effect of cancer. Hmmm….doesn’t look like the odds are in my favor.
On a completely different note-Jumpsuits for women, both shorts and pant combos. I really like the idea of them but how do you pee or go to the bathroom? Do you disrobe each time? I am not going to lie, sometimes I don’t have enough time. An accident could occur. Just saying, very cute in theory but not the best functionality for me. :/
