Time to me. If I can to live to see all of my grandchildren growing. Me I'm SHE them wasn't coming. Down this way. At. All. So. What. They didn't. Do is. Say.
For. A reason I had you come back to have that liver scan. The reason I wanted you to go for that was that I was little disturbed about some the blood chemistries that we got. And they showed that there was some abnormal function of your liver. And we know that patients are a type of tumor that one of the problems is that it can spread to the liver liver scan shows that that's what's happening. That there is some tumor in the liver. What happened is that the operation was done fairly late in the course of the problem and that tumor already was was beyond where the surgeons could take it out. So we tried it the Extreme Thing.
You can't give much kind of X-ray treatment to the liver it's very sensitive to X-ray. And. You know what happens in this kind of tumor work you always pay a price for what you are doing. You can't use a certain kind of treatment and not have some side effects from it. And the side effects. X-ray therapies to the liver are very high. Much higher the. Chance of. Getting. Something. Tumor. I wish I could give you more encouraging news but I want to be honest with you. You know where things stand. I think you have to realize that it's just there really isn't any chance cure or that the tumor has gone beyond where we can really do something about it. Well we've been told by this doctor never to talk to me.
That's right. We're going to go on forever. They will one thing in the world and a man can do in a case like that and put his trust in God. And that's the good news. I'm not upset about it in the morning. I don't know anything about it. Long as I can but I'm not going to die on the kind of death you tell him that this is not going to that. Day but one way to do that it is.
Meant to be you know it. Doesn't feel that they don't know what to tell them. And sometimes. They're. Doing art. The doctor. Told. Me. Things like that and. Really. Nothing to worry about. Mr.. You.
Oh. Oh. Oh.
Oh. Oh. Oh oh. Oh oh oh. You knew. Who. I was a foster child growing up without her aunts. And my life was very long. And I think when I met my wife. It was a God given gift. I'd always wish for a big family and when the Christmas
season when people begin to visit the loved ones and everything was left out many times I'd walk off and go some place by myself. And so it so happened that I run into my wife Catherine and we was married and she gave me something that had never had. A family. Something I can look back at and say that is my very own that is more than I had ever had in my life. And I think I was only a blessing from God. You know. I.
I. I. I. I. I. I first give an honest to God.
Touch. It. Was a man. Named John he had. They say she was about the age of Twain. And she was saying Jamerson had done been to Jesus and told him about in. Order that he thought Jesus would say no. But Jesus wasn't ignoring him. He was just doing one thing at the time. While he was still talking. Jobless come up and said Jesus why don't you speak. Jesus said. She is not dead. She is desperate. That's what I say about pain. If I can just talk. And he took.
Peter. James and John to tell me. And then mother and her father. And. Asked everybody else any one soul. In the room. Wait a girl. Any code about body. Any call of. God. And the Bible say the spirit begetting the moon. And all. But. Say. Listen. I'm asked and asked and so forth. And. So. I want to give my answer to this. Before the homework.
But that means that you know that you have. What do you do about. It. I won't answer that question. James just one day. A little. And any time when the rest are normal. I think about day. And. Night him goes like this. Is. Why. Oh.
No. The. Body. Part. Is. Easy. I. Know.

I. Agree with Steve. The nurse is crazy. I mean. I. Said. It. Earlier. I hear. You and I come out here and listen. We thank the Lord. Are. Now about to see. The nervousness about the battle. I see. I still. Say.
I can say right now that I'm living in some of the greatest moments in life
if I should use a name. I don't think that Rockefeller can be as happy of me. I'm the most happiest man in the world even though the doctor has told me that I didn't have long to live. But time did I have on top of this if I don't try to live it out the happiest and the best I know how. I think I'm more in your district. Now I can sit. Back and relax.
And enjoy myself than let em do. Something dumb. You know. That's why things happen to a person like this. God is doing these things to give you slow down and give you time. To. Appreciate life. God does things like that I believe. Everybody goes. We never want to live with it. We don't go through with it one way. Or the. Other. I'm not a man that. Had experience. Counts. That. Jesus died.
On the wrong. Side. Since. We get. In. Trouble. But. I did not get much of this. But Stony Creek Hello. Joan. Oh you. Do not. Fall. In. Love. Because. That's what. It. Was. Yeah. I. Went to see a girl to think. Of. All. Those. Letters. With. The letters. The letters. That's. Fine. I want to.

Program Description
"After the work of the faculty screening committees had been completed WGBH forwarded to Peabody, at the request of Mr. Edward Weeks, a member of the Board, two cassettes (one 57 minutes and one 40 minutes in length) of a special program titled 'DYING' which had been produced by WGBH. "The receipt of these two cassettes was noted in a letter to the Board on March 4 and the Board was invited to view this program, if they desired, when they met on the campus later in March. There was no opportunity to list this program in the material forwarded to the Peabody Board since these had already been prepared. "The Board did not see fit to make a Peabody award in this case but this entry form is being prepared in order that the two cassettes may be included in the Peabody Collection. "We are assigning a Peabody control number to this program for record purposes. "Worth McDougald, Director."--1976 Peabody Awards entry form.
