Today I was thinking about how no one wants to ever hear the word cancer. Lately, it has become part of our daily vocabulary!! At first it was a very scary word but now, it is a word that doesn't scare me quite as much. It doesn't make me cry as much. It has made me realize that we have some really good friends. We have a really good life. We have a fantastic family. We have great kids and we have an incredible GOD. It isn't a word that makes me wonder. It is a word that I am determined to beat and be able to say Tony's cancer is gone or in remission. It is a word that I am planning to be able to use in the past tense. It is a word that we will be able to use when we are able to beat this then comfort others that are going through the same thing. Cancer is an illness.....not a death sentence. Cancer can be cured, it can be treated and it can be scary. Cancer can also be something that brings your family together like never before. Makes you kinder to each other and not quite so proud. Brings you closer to your friends. Allows you to open up your hearts and your God to your family and friends. It allows to to rest and let people help you because you know they love you and want to help you. It allows you to see that God places angels in even the small things and in the strangest places and in wonderful family and friends and even strangers.
Cancer may be scary but it does have some positive reactions after the shock wears off! My God will take care of the cancer and give us gifts that we have never known before....
