to live or live!
«a british husband and wife were told they each didn't have long to live, so they spent their life's savings on a trip round the world only to get better on their return home.»
only to...?!
the wife, 56, was diagnosed with breast cancer, while the husband was told he had serious heart problems. neither seems to me a de facto death sentence and i bet it wasn't so for megan nor patrick. the couple did realise they weren't immortal and decided they might as well use the £40,000 (us$70K) they had saved to do the fifty things they most wanted. see, they decided to use the money to live rather than to prevent death or at least keep it at bay in hospital for as long as they could, forced to spend their life savings in medical treatment like they would in the united states of america (shame shame shame). so mortality, depression, freedom and means --rather than fear-- allowed them to pack their bags, renew their vows abord the qe2, go on a south african safari, dance in rio and visit the falklands, uruguay and senegal. upon their return to england they discovered megan's cancer is in remission and patrick underwent heart-bypass surgery and is recovering well. she says they "are as fit now as they've ever been". and not a word about prayer nor miracle! hahaha!
next up? orangutan-watching in borneo and washing elephants in sri lanka...
