2. Not so strange about killing bugs.

I don't like to kill them, but when I have to, I always wish them a higher rebirth

I'm so sorry about your cancer. I don't have very much knowledge about rebirth. I do think it's interesting that energy isn't created or destroyed, but transforms and I've wondered if this could be related.

I can offer you my deepest wishes of peace, comfort and love.
