Sheri Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 Here in Beerfield MI (population 540), we are having our annual town garage sale. Coming back from the store I felt compelled to stop at a house when I saw an elderly lady wearing a purple relay for life tshirt labeled as a survivor. I tapped her on the back and congratulated her on her survivorship and explained I lost my Dad almost three years ago to cancer. She has been battling NSCLC for five years and lost her husband and son to cancer. My eyes teared up. I asked "how can someone live through the tremendous loss?" She shrugged her shoulders and said, "you have to do it one day at a time." As simple as this message was, she demonstrated courage. It would be great if we could designate a day each year for all cancer survivors. You guys deserve it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laban Posted June 11, 2010 Share Posted June 11, 2010 We should honor every day to those we lost. Cancer is horrible. Bless you for acknowledging the survivor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
