Final Author's Notes: If there's a 'Jason' in your life tell them how special they are. If there is anyone you really love with all your heart tell them it! The last time I saw my Nanny alert and I told her I loved her and I am so very glad I did. She was taken away from me and my family in a very sudden, freak accident while on her way to my house to get the crossword. We were completely unprepared for it and I will always be glad I told her I loved her the last time I saw her. I know she always knew it anyway but you'd be surprised at how often people don't realize what they mean to everyone around them. I was going to say more but I'm just too shook up to think of anything else right now. Sorry.
On another note there is something I would like to say in direct relation to the story. Lung cancer kills more people per year than any other type of cancer and yet it is the most underfunded type of cancer when it comes to treatment research. There NEEDS to be more funding for lung cancer. It takes too many lives or smokers and non-smokers alike. Many people think it is 'only a smoker's disease' and therefore not worthy of the funding that goes to breast cancer research, leukemia research etc.. It is NOT 'only a smoker's disease.' You can get lung cancer even if you've never touched a cigarette in your life. Even former smoker's who have lung cancer deserve and need more advanced treatments. Ignoring the fact lung cancer research needs more funding is denying someone with lung cancer the right to a fighting chance at life.
Sorry if I sounded preachy in any of that. I'm a bit still a bit shell shocked and more than a bit muddled. I hope you enjoyed this monster. Please review!
