SHARING

I met with a friend today who had a double mastectomy two years ago. It was great to get out of the house and be social. It was nice sitting with her and hearing her story. In every person's cancer story, there is encouragement, lessons, advice, and support. I felt all of these as I left our meeting and was very thankful for her candidness and friendship.

I admitted to her that I shied away from her and her situation as she was going through it. I feel horrible about that now. I wish I could have been there for her to support and encourage her as she and so many others have been doing for me.

I look forward to the opportunities God will put in front of me where I can lend my support, encouragement, and personal experience to those who might need them. No longer do I shy away from the word cancer or those who are dealing with it in one form or another.

I see this as just one of many blessings God is giving me through all this.
