                        LIFE, IT IS WHAT IT IS......

The following is a story about a six year old. It is bitter sweet and serves as a reminder how precious life is and how many wonderful people there are in this world.

You may want to grab a tissue first.

In Phoenix, Arizona, a 26 year-old mother stared down at her 6 year old son, who was dying of terminal leukemia.

   Although her heart was filled with sadness, she also had a strong feeling of determination.  Like any parent, she wanted her son to grow up and fulfill all of his dreams.  Now, that was no longer possible.  The leukemia would see to that, but she still wanted her son's dream to come true.

She took her son's hand and asked, "Billy, did you every think about what you wanted to be once you grew up?  Did you ever dream and wish what you would do with your life?"

"Mommy, I always wanted to be a fireman when I grew up."

She smiled back and said, "let's see if we can make your wish come true.

Later that day, she went to her local fire department in Phoenix, Arizona, where she met Fireman Bob who had a heart as big as Phoenix.

She explained her son's final wish and asked if it might be possible to give her 6 year old-son a ride around the block on a fire engine.

Fireman Bob said, "Look, we can do better than that.  If you'll have your son ready at seven o'clock Wednesday morning, we'll make him an honorary Fireman for the whole day.  He can come down to the station, eat with us, go out on all the fire calls, the whole nine yards!  And if you'll give us his sizes, we'll get a real fire uniform for him with a real fire hat. Not a toy, but one with the emblem of the Phoenix Fire Department on it, a yellow slicker like we wear and rubber boots. They're all manufactured right here in Phoenix, so we can get them fast."

Three days later, Fireman Bob picked up Billy, dressed him in his uniform and escorted him from his hospital bed to the waiting hook and ladder truck.

There were three fire calls in Phoenix that day and Billy got to go out on all three calls. Billy was able to sit on the back of the truck and help steer it back to the fire station...he was in heaven.

He road in the different fire engines, the Paramedic's van, and even the Fire Chief's car.  He was also videotaped for the local news program, as he was having all of his dreams come true.

All the love and attention that was lavished upon him, touched Billy so deeply, that he lived three months longer than any doctor thought possible.

One night all of his vital sings began to drop dramatically and the head nurse, who believed in the hospice concept, that no one should die alone--began to call the family members to the hospital.

Then she remembered the day Billy had spent as a Fireman, so she called the Fire Chief and asked if would be possible to send a fireman in uniform to the hospital to be with Billy as he made his transition.

The chief replied, "We can do better than that. We'll be there in five minutes. Will you please do me a favor?  When you hear the sirens screaming and see the lights flashing, will you announce over the PA system that there is not a fire? It's the department coming to see one of its finest members one more time.  And will you open the window to his room?"

About five minutes later a hook and ladder truck arrived at the hospital and extended its ladder up to Billy's third floor window.  Sixteen fire-fighters climbed up the ladder into Billy's room.

With his mother's permission, they hugged him and held him and told him how much they LOVED him.  With his dying breath, Billy looked up and said, "Chief, am I really a fireman now?"

"Billy, you are, and the Head Chief Jesus, is holding your hand," the chief said. 

With those words Billy smiled and said, "I know, He's been holding my hand all day and the Angels have been singing."

He closed his eyes one last time.

This story is a powerful testimony to love.  Let the people you love in your life, know it as often as possible.

Goddess love and blessings to all of you.

WORDS FROM ANDY ROONEY
                IN APPRECIATION OF OLDER WOMEN!

"As I grow in age, I value women over 50 most of all.  Here are just a few reasons why.

A woman over 50 will never wake you in the middle of the night and ask, 'What are you thinking?' She doesn't care what you think.

If a woman over 50 doesn't want to watch the game, she doesn't sit around whining about it. She does something she wants to do, and it's usually more interesting.

Women over 50 are dignified.  They seldom have a screaming match with you at the opera or in the middle of an expensive restaurant.  Of course, if you deserve it, they won't hesitate to shoot you if they think they can get away with it.

Older women are generous with praise, often undeserved.  They know what it's like to be unappreciated.

Women get psychic as they age.  You never have to confess your sins to a woman over 50.

Once you get past a wrinkle or two, a woman over 50 is far sexier than her younger counterpart.

Older women are forthright and honest.  They'll tell you right off if you are a jerk, if you are acting like one.  You don't ever have to wonder where you stand with her.

Yes, we praise women over 50 for a multitude of reasons.  Unfortunately, it's not reciprocal.  For every stunning, smart, well-coiffed, hot woman over 50, there is a bald, paunch relic in yellow pants making a fool of himself with some 22 year old waitress.  Ladies, I apologize.

For all those men who say, 'Why buy the cow when you can get the milk for free?  Here's an update for you.  Nowadays 80% of women are against marriage.  Why?  Because women realize it's not worth buying an entire pig just to get a little sausage!"

Ladies, Andy Rooney is a really smart guy!  He gets a 21 Golden Goddesses salute!

                         A sweet Story............

An eye witness account from New York City, on a cold day in December, some years ago; a little boy, about 10 years old, was standing before a shoe store on the roadway, barefooted, peering through the window, and shivering with cold.

A lady approached the young boy and said, "My, but you're in such deep thought staring in that window!"

"I was asking God to give me a pair of shoes," was the boys reply.

The lady took him by the hand, went into the store, and asked the clerk to get half a dozen pairs of socks for the boy.  She then asked if he could give her a basin of water and a towel.  He quickly brought the items to her. 

She took the little fellow to the back part of the store and, removing her gloves, knelt down, washed his little feet, and dried them with the towel.

By this time, the clerk had returned with the socks. Placing a pair on the boy's feet, she purchased him a pair of shoes.

She tied up the remaining pairs of socks and gave them to him.  She patted him on the head and said, "No doubt, you will be more comfortable now."

As she turned to go, the astonished child caught her by the hand, and looking up into her face, with tears in his eyes, asked her....

                         "Are you God's wife?"

Sigh.
