As for "smiling at the world".. lots of reasons for it, even though we did get ridiculed by a few families in the Sarcoma unit that felt "there was nothing to laugh about". Well we fooled them...
I totally changed my attitude on life when I was turning 30.. I told my Mother "I was gonna enjoy the next 30 years as I was half way there".. with my father dying from Cancer at the age of 59. She slapped me for that statement.... but I carried on with that tact. I guess it rubbed off on the kids, as they live for today and enjoy tomorrow if it comes.
