Time is very precious to me.
I don’t know how much I have left.
And I have some things Id like to say.
To me, there are three things we all should do every day.
Number one is laugh.
Number two is think.
Number three is you should have your emotions moved to tears.
Think about it, if you laugh, you think and you cry,
That’s a full day, that’s a good day.
I urge all of you to enjoy your life, the precious moments you have,
To spend each day with some laughter and some thought,
To be enthusiastic every day.
We need your help.
I need your help.
It may save someone you love.
The Jimmy V Foundation for Cancer Research
Its motto is..
“Don’t Give Up…
Don’t Ever Give Up.”
Cancer can take away all my physical abilities,
It cannot touch my mind.
It cannot touch my heart.
And it cannot touch my soul.
Those three things are going to carry on forever.
