Life is Precious

I’m writing today on a different note than real estate.  I was talking to a friend/business mentor of mine who has recently been diagnosed with a terminal cancer, that is very rare, and likely doesn’t have long to live.  I was speaking with him a couple days ago, and it really hit me how precious life is.  My friend has two younger children, a wife and has invested in real estate.  His daughters know that he is sick with cancer, but are unaware it is terminal.  This absolutely breaks my heart, and there are many questions that arise during a time like this. The doctors have given him a couple of months to live.  He has decided to kick the chemo and go the natural route to see what can be done that way.

Why I bring this up, is that my friend, like I said, invested in Real Estate.  I have seen the power of investing in Real Estate, but have seen it in a new light this week.  He has now set up a future for his family if he does pass.  Real Estate is a powerful investment tool no matter what the market is doing.  Even though the market is slower right now, there is equity that he can feed off of if need be.

I don’t want to mention names, but if you are a praying person, I know that my friend would be very appreciated if you said a couple words to the big guy upstairs for him and his family.  I know that he isn’t the only one suffering with the awful disease of cancer, and my prayers go out to all who are in need.

If any of the readers here, have some suggestions or thoughts that may help my friend out with different treatments, that would be appreciated.
