I would buy a cure for cancer. My grandmother had it and has recovered, and I have a special friend who has had it too and recovered. Now I have a beautiful, brave and kind friend who is dealing with recurrent breast cancer. On the surface, there is a sheen of positive energy, but below the surface there is fear and discouragement. And not necessarily from her... maybe it's from my own feelings. I am discouraged at what she is going through, and the thought of what could happen.
She is exactly the kind of person anybody would want for a best friend, she is quick with a smile, a laugh... kind to a fault, and extremely generous. She is a terrific mother to her 3 young children, and from the smile on her husband's face, a gorgeous and wonderful wife.
My own problems and day to day struggles are so pale in comparison. Maybe what we can take away from this is to not harp on our own problems. Yeah, so I'm pissed about my car having to go back to the mechanic... and that I'm broke once again... but I'm healthy... my children are healthy and my husband is healthy. We anticipate forever together. What if we had to face a future of not being certain of that? How would it be possible to be able to put one foot in front of the other and keep moving forward? But she does... and she does it well.
God bless you "B" and I promise we are all fighting together. Every cell in my own body is right there with you...
