Joicy, had to respond to this one. My boss's aunt was told @ 80 yrs old that
she had cancer and would be gone in less than 6 months. She basically told
the doc WHERE to go and said, "I'll see YOU next year...and the year after!"
She just celebrated her 100th birthday with a card from the White House.
