CANCER SUCKS!
In the last month I have found out about several friends or family of friends who have received the dreaded cancer diagnosis. 2 on of them on Tuesday. It is hateful, scary...and there is just no polite way to describe it. CANCER SUCKS!
My heart goes out to them and to those who love and care for them. I always hope that I will have insight now...be able to offer some hope, comfort. When someone hears that diagnosis or is going through treatment, what do we say? Can we offer anything when it is so big?
As someone who has been on the receiving end of the care and comfort, I can say yes. Yes we can offer something. We can offer hugs, an ear, a shoulder; soup, crazy pirate packages, jumbo valentine boxes, notes in the mail, a weekend away, a cozy little stove, cookies, wine, pedicure funds, yummy quilts...
All this adds up to such a feeling of care. All this adds up to strength to take it on for another day.
hugs,
chris
