Have I shared with the Board our son is a cancer survivor? When he was 2 he was diagnosed with a malignant brain tumor. We spent about a year in and out of hospitals, cheotherapy, surgeries. It was a horriffic experience. That is when the cracks appeared in our M.
My WW started an EA with a "friend" online that was pretty dramatic. I discovered it and was very upset to know when our S was in the hospital possibly dying, she was having an EA. She denied it of course, said she just needed a friend, we went to counseling, etc... That was 7 years ago.
We had a D6 when our S9 was declared cancer free and was 3 years old.
I felt like I had been given a second chance by God, got baptised, accepted Jesus into my life and asked him to forgive me of my sins, thanked him for not taking my S9, baptised our kids, started going to church, volunteered, just being thankful to God and the Universe for my family and WW. I was trying to pay it back you know, be a better person to thank God and the Universe for my second chance.
Everything seemed to be going so well and then bomb drop.
So, yes, I am a sensitive soul, have been through the wringer, came out stronger, but now another huge challenge.
That's probably the "lesson" is that how we handle the challenges life throws us. Do we give up? Do we fall apart? Do we collapse?
No, the measure of the man (woman) is how we conduct ourselves through really tough situations.
We hold our heads high, carry on to the best of ability, adjust our attitudes, try to improve on our weaknesses, and pray for better days.
