I have recently received email from a perfectly delightful new relative. My nephew, Eric, a 21 year-old marine, was married in 2004 to a bright and attractive young woman. Not long before his deployment, a beautiful baby girl was born.
I can imagine few things more stressful than separation from the one that makes your heart beat -- your new wife or your new husband – at this formulative time Billnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5062092.post-1134242429919325442005-12-10T11:17:00.000-08:002005-12-10T13:15:47.113-08:00ColonoscopyColorectal cancer is the second leading cause of cancer death in the United States.
