When I was going thru cancer, I got a couple of those Willow Tree angels from friends, one of the says HEALING and the other one is HOPE!!! I keep both of those words in my mind at all times!
As for being a strong lady! If someone had asked me to describe myself, that would not have been a word I would have thought of myself as. The last 2 1/2 years have really tested that and I guess I am stronger than I know! I HAVE to be! I have 2 kids that are depending on me, pretty much just me! [b][b]I wonder if I didn't have them to think about how strong I would be.[/b][/b]
CW I am so choked up having read this- you are a humble woman!
You asked me to send optimism your way so when I came to catch up on your thread, I was expecting to read something bad happened with H and his L! Instead, you sound good!
Don't you think that after you beat cancer, you can overcome any obstacle? I wouldn't know but that is what I see in cancer survivors- you are WARRIORS! For I have read that you must have a positive mental outlook in addition to the medical intervention. Is this true?
Oh and I have another word that you might want to include with HOPE and HEALING...it helps me every day! BELIEVE (because sometimes I think I am the only one who BELIEVES that R is possible!)
