I just want to be grateful today. Over the weekend an aquantance of mine lost his daughter to breast cancer.
This is the 3 rd daughter he has lost in his family. His other two daughters were killed on seperate occations from auot accidents.
I share this here because I am not certain I have any words or thoughts to fathom that.
Prayers to the family, and strength.

Really sorry to hear that.. although I'm not really sure what that has to do with Gynecomastia?

When I look around at the problems people have I am grateful that one of the worst problems I have had to deal with is Gynecomastia.

When we are at a point in our lives where our condition seems like a heavy burden, it can be helpful to realize that ours is simply an embarrassment.

A young man who has cried himself to sleep because of the depression brought on by his condition will obviously have a difficult time putting this into perspective.

Many years ago an old man, who was a friend of mine, casually asked how things were going. I unloaded and recited a long list of things that had gone wrong recently. My old friend smiled and said he had a bottle of fine wine and this would be a good time to open it and celebrate. Celebrate? I wondered. His reply has stuck with me for years. He said: "Yes, we must celebrate the fact that your problems, though many, are all so petty."
