If children have the ability to ignore all odds and percentages, then maybe we can all learn from them. When you think about it, what other choice is there but to hope? We have two options, medically and emotionally: give up, or fight like hell.
The first time I read this, I lost my breath, and I got goose bumps. All too often, we forget about the people emotional fight while they may be physically fighting a pain as well But just because of a illness causing physical pain doest mean there is no emotional pain. For example cancer; cancer is a disease of the body, mind, and soul, and far to often we forget that despite the pain physically, the emotional pain can be just as horrific.
I've lost 7 people in my life to cancer; It bloody sucks. As much as I wanted to crawl in to a ball and throw myself a pity party over losing someone to such an horrific disease I didn't. I couldn't. I wasn't the one in pain, I was the one with a healthy life, if they couldn't live there life to the full; I swore to myself that I would live my life for them. Some people are taken far to early; most of the time it happens to the nicest people as well; I guess heaven missed them and needed them more than me, However at the time it didn't seem fair and I just wanted to be angry all the time. Why them? Why me? Why now? The questions are endless. But you have to believe that life had bigger better plans for them, that didn't belong here with us, and that God knew what he was doing.
You don't get to choose if you get hurt in this world...but you do have some say in who hurts you. I like my choices.”-John Green.
