‘When the sunshine don’t work, the good Lord bring the rain in.’

Dixon, Magnolia (1999)

‘I come in here, I give these things to you, you check, you make your phone calls, look suspicious, ask questions. I’m sick. I have sickness all around me and you fucking ask me about my life? “What’s wrong?” Have you seen death in your bed? In your house? Where’s your fucking decency?’

Linda Partridge, Magnolia (1999)

To some it’s a lethal attack, others remain challenged and positive, but cancer is affecting one in three of us; directly or secondhand.Don’t suffer in silence and treat others with dignity, regardless of fear or stigma. Live the life you believe in and never let the sun go down on regret, unanswered or unasked questions. Focus on the preservation of the gift of life.
