Being Thankful...
Sitting here, looking out at the sunshine, watching and hearing the birds sing... thinking I have so much to be thankful for...friends, family, job, health, life...Yes, I have had many losses in my life,,, but I never had to watch my love ones suffer - for that I am so thankful. Yesterday, I saw my friend , who has liver cancer. She is a single mother of a 16 year old son, and is only 49 years old. She has been battling cancer for the past year now. Recently told there is nothing else they can do for her. She is so yellow, so weak, so tired... I feel so helpless,,, I hug her, try to comfort her... that's all I can do... I pray they will receive strength needed to deal with this.
It would drive me insane to know that I will be leaving my only child...
So today, I have a sore throat, and a head cold... but I am not complaining.... no, I am thanking God for all I have, all I've been through and all I will go through,,, because when I go through all this I am living... thankyou God...

Thank you for posting. Its true..we should be thankful and not take things for granted. I am a single mum..my son is 18..last year, I was misdiagnosed with cancer. I will never ever forget those 5 horrifying days before I was told that the doctors have made a mistake(and Im hoping it stays that way).
I cannot even begin to tell you how many thoughts went through my head. I cannot comprehend how people deal and cope with such an illness of oneself or a loved one.
Life is so fragile..cherish every moment..you dont know how good you have it until its gone.
My heart goes out to your friend..and to you as I feel how helpless you are feeling as well. I hope that you have a good support group around you to help you deal with this.
Take care,
Sue
