On My Mind... 04/07/08


“The hardest part for me as a mother and having cancer is not being able to be a part of my children’s every day lives EVERYDAY and in every way as before. At times I might feel too weak to go to my daughter’s softball game, step outside to play. I’m most scared of dying leaving my children & future grand-children. I do believe that God has a plan for me and by sending me on this journey, he will tell me my purpose.” Just something that I feel right now and wanted to get off my chest (blog about)!

I know you can feel sad, worried and at times defeated; we all do. You have to push through it and find the "CAN" in cancer. Even if every second of every minute of every day you have to repeat to yourself "I am stronger then cancer, I am a fighter, I will fight with all that I have, I will survive, I am a survivor" Let your strength consume you and know that you will be okay. As hard as it is you cannot let the negative thoughts fill you because the cancer will feed off of it. Knowing that you will fight and be okay will make sure that you will not leave us.
I love you, and although I would love to be able to fight this with you, I cannot. I will however be there with you every step of the way cheering you on; through every treatment, every rough patch, every bad day.

Deanna,
I know you are a strong woman! You can do this and will come out of it all even stronger than before. I remember being totally amazed at Joy's strength when she went through what you are now experiencing. I truly admired her and do you as well. God bless you! Keep the faith...
