Fear is the greatest cause of misery in the world.

The moment you fear, you are nobody.

It was a busy morning, about 8:30, when an elderly gentleman in his 80’s, arrived to have stitches removed from his thumb. He said he was in a hurry as he had an appointment at 9:00 am.

When my father was diagnosed with cancer, he moved in with my youngest brother.
