We thought since she is battling pancreatic cancer that we'd start with Aretha Franklin, 67, who has been called the greatest pop singer of all time by "Rolling Stone."
With this quote, Franklin illustrates that all of us to a varying degree have coping problems with life's various challenges:
"Trying to grow up is hurting, you know you make mistakes. you try to learn from them, and when you don't, it hurts even more."
Yeah, I certainly know what she means by that.
