JOHN LEWIS: HE HAD A GOOD RUN.
ICHEOKU says rather than being sad, let us celebrate the Congressman from the Great State of Georgia John Robert Lewis for a life well lived in the service of others. At nearly 80 years old, he lived a good life and we should treasure and celebrate whatever is left of it; as pancreas cancer is a killer disease that has no known cure.
Apple founder Steve Jobs succumbed to the disease and so did Patrick Swayze; and any of them would have lived if it was something that money could be thrown at. Jeopardy host Alex Trebek is similarly afflicted with the disease. But medical science is not there yet, so until then, we can only wish the Congressman peace of the mind as he awaits the inevitable. Although miracles do still happen and as the Congressman said, he does not want to die; but also conceded that we all live to die someday and should pray for a less painful and less scary experience when the time arrives.
It was with a heart filled with concern that ICHEOKU received the news of his affliction and that it is at a valedictory stage 4. ICHEOKU wishes Georgia's 6th District Representative John Robert Lewis well as he awaits the outcome; and adds that history will write him well as a voice against injustice and oppression. As a young man, he did not keep quiet when circumstance called and he stood up to be counted. He never wavered nor looked back ever since and has remained front and center in speaking out against all forms of injustices. May God bless him and keep him comfortable and consoled; and make the end as peaceful as possible when the hour strikes.
