Questions I've Gained Along the Way #3 (cancer/time)

Questions I've gained along the way #3

After a loved one dies, people often say- "I'd pay any amount of money to have just one more day with them.... to hear their voice again... to hug them..."

So why don't more people sacrifice money, time on the job, etc... to be with their loved ones as much as possible, while they are alive? 

Everyone's days are limited. Cancer or not. Why do people wait till it's too late to understand that there is nothing on this earth that is more precious than time with loved ones. Nothing.

Questions I've Gained Along the Way #2 (cancer/camrys)

Questions I've gained along the way #2.

Are Camrys and cancer truly ubiquitous? Or is it just my association that is causing me to see cancer ev.er.y.where. now?

Several years ago our family purchased a white, Toyota Camry. As I drove it around NEPA, it suddenly felt like every fourth car was a white Camry. Two of my friends even had white Camrys. How did this happen? And how did I not see this before? Surely, they had been in plain sight...

Fast forward to today, and I feel a sense of deja vu.

With the announcement of my dad, Jack's cancer, I receive daily messages from friends who have loved ones who have battled, or are battling cancer. And I am stupefied. 

I realize that the Camry phenomenon was just my ownership causing me to notice other Camrys, however is that the case with the "cancer epidemic", as well? 

How many of you have a loved one who has, or has had cancer? *Feel free to add details that you are comfortable sharing, as I foresee your answers turning into prayers from more than a few people.*
