Our Journey through Life (with Cancer)

Reflection 1

Bill’s cancer has and will always be a huge part of our lives.   My mom’s cancer was the same way.  My mom will say that cancer gave her motivation and courage.  As a caregiver, this illness has given me courage as well.  Cancer has not stopped any of us in this house from doing what we want to do, what we need to do.  Some days, when we felt that the world was crashing on our shoulders, there was strength in still getting up and doing what needed to be done.  Cancer did not take away our joy or our happiness.  We never used “cancer” as an excuse to get out of anything.  If anything – cancer propelled us to create, to live the life that we always dreamed of. Cancer did not, and will not, ever stop us…

On the days we felt weak, there were so many people to lift us up again.

Special thanks to those people…we will always be grateful for you.

We still have a long road ahead….but we will be fine.

Thinking of all of you who have supported us through this journey today….

Be well, and healthy, and live the life you’ve always dreamed of!
