| update on my Mom |
Well, it is as all of us suspected, but didn't want to admit: Mom's liver cancer is terminal. The doctor says she has anywhere from “months to years,” depending, according to the doctor, mainly on her attitude. She starts chemo on Friday, Oct. 13, but the most the chemo can do is simply slow the cancer down.
Cancer is a curious thing. One one hand it's a big, ugly beast that we all fear. On the other hand, it has a very tangible blessing. It gives us time to say the things that we have been meaning to say, but haven't. It gives us time to make right the wrongs. It gives us time to re-focus our priorities. It helps us come out of our own little worlds and embrace the people around us. Cancer reminds us that we are mortal. It reminds us that we need to love one another while we still have one another on this earth.
So, for today, choose love. Choose hope. Choose to cling to God because all that He offers is good.
