Disclaimer: This is not a story for children!!!! But share if you choose! It’s a real life story. This happened to me and maybe I’ll go more into detail in my next book…
I want to tell you a story about earth angels. When Maddisyn Colleen Butler 💜 In Memory of Maddisyn Colleen Butler 💜, was 4&1/2 when she began battling cancer. ALL, aka Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia. She KICKED ITS ASS, by the way! Her first oncologist, who I later fired, I don’t know if that’s what you do; get rid of, dispose of, went elsewhere, whatever…
 anyway, she almost killed Maddi💋. Maddi’s precious sweet little body could not handle all of the chemo that they were pumping into her. And I begged this woman to ease up because I knew how badly Maddisyn was suffering at home. But this woman was protocol protocol protocol! So just as Maddisyn was turning five, she almost died from a staph infection. As you can, imagine, at this time, I am questioning a lot of things… Especially religion and spirituality and the universe and God! And manifestation! So many questions… And brain overload!
But while she was in the hospital fighting for her life, (I was a smoker back then, not proud of it! Just the fact!) I was outside the hospital sitting on a bench with my sister, who was on the phone with her friend. I was smoking a cigarette and this dude rolls up next to me in a wheelchair, he didn’t have any legs. He asked me for a cigarette. So I gave him one. And he starts to tell me about when he lost his legs, and here is where it gets a little more R rated… 
So he starts talking to me about gratitude and the funny thing is he’s speaks like Buckwheat But the Eddie Murphy version. Buttwheat. Those of you who used to watch Saturday Night Live when Eddie Murphy was on will know who I’m talking about. If you don’t know who I’m talking about, you should definitely google it.
Anyway that’s how this guy was talking. So if that didn’t already capture my attention, I don’t know what was going to. However, what follows is even funnier! He’s telling me that after he lost his legs, he was in the room with another guy and they just had a curtain in between them. He explains to me that the man in the bed next to him could not use his p***s anymore, and so when the nurse came in and he got a “woody” he was just grateful that his p***s still worked. I did a double-take and I thought “Oh my gosh, am I hearing this man right?” So then I looked at my sister and I said, “Teri, did you hear what this guy just said?” She turned and looked behind me and said to me, “what guy?” And I turned back around and he was gone.
