QUOTE : Part of resisting the disease is captured in simply not letting the fear of tomorrow control the quality of today. The Rodgers and Hammerstein song from The King and I makes the point better than I can: I whistle a happy tune, and every single time, the happiness in the tune convinces me that I’m not afraid. Powering through the fear may seem like denial, but fear doesn’t change the prognosis. It only changes the way I would feel between now and whenever the inevitable occurs. So that is what I did.
