I have a friend who just found out she has terminal cancer. My first reaction was anger that this would happen to her and I wanted to cry. But she is handling it so well. She says she has turned it over to God and is appreciating each day as it comes. She is making the most of the time she has left. One doctor told her she has 6 months to live and another said he doesn't know how long. She is not letting this bother her. She is so positive! She amazes me!
I guess we don't know how we would react in this kind of situation until it happens to us. I am not sure that I could laugh and joke like she does. But I would hope that I would not moan, complain and whine about it. I believe my faith is strong enough to endure even that kind of a hardship. We are all dying, we just don't know when. Putting my faith in God to take care of me and my family and to help me through the situation would not be easy. But it would be the first thing I would think of, I hope.
I am going to be there as much as she needs me. I am happy to say her family is all coming from out-of-state to be here too. God willing we will have many more months with her. But if not, I pray that God's angels will take her home to be with Him before she has to endure too much pain.
May God bless us all in 2009!
