No, I don&#39;t feel that way. But it is said that stress can accelerate the growth of tumors or errant cells. I don&#39;t know if this is a fact or not. [quote]Don&#39;t you feel, parents or anyone that was close to you while on earth can still watch over you after they physically leave this earth?.. [/quote]I do feel that way now. I believe my dad is up there playing gin rummy with his card buddies that predeceased him. I think of him having dinner with his parents and sister . I even picture him with John Ritter, who died 2 weeks after my dad, joking around and hanging out together. I know I&quot;m a bit weird about this stuff. Maybe more than a bit.  <img src='http://www.cruisecrazies.com/community/images/forum/tr-emoticons/tongue.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':tongue:' />
