The miracle of life

I have a great friend, Peter, who has the same slow form of ALS/MND as me. In fact we met again last week at the hospice. He wrote to me yesterday about someone who'd died recently after the quick form of the disease. He said, "We are so lucky. I saw something in the paper last week by a teenager who died of cancer. He said, 'Life is suffering but every second is a miracle'. So true."
