So much that we learn about ourselves during those nights when thoughts overwhelm and
impose on the sleep we crave –
yes, we have cancer, yes, we know what is coming
someday maybe sooner than we expected but maybe not–
yes, we re-live so many life experiences both
sweet and some not so sweet –
but we
will make the most of what still awaits us, and appreciate the skill of our
surgeons, doctors and nurses, and the support and prayers from our family and
amazing friends who have quietly been there for us for so long –
and vow that we will do whatever we can to help,
console, and support everyone that we will ever meet, or get to know, in their
journey along the cancer trail –
even if we can do no more than pray for their comfort
and peace.
Our prayers go forth to you and yours.
