![]() | Cancer saved my life. In 2005 I was depressed and thinking about "checking out" after a very hard year. My (then) husband and I were expecting, and in the beginning of the second trimester, I miscarried what would have been my 1st child, then he and a girlfriend started seeing each other and became a couple, my otherwise healthy father had a sudden stroke and died, one month later... I was diagnosed with breast cancer. I was relieved and wanted to die, but the flood of love that came into my life, turned me around. Angels came out of every corner of my world, in the form of doctors, friends, even strangers sewing little heart shaped pillows that go under your arm after surgery for comfort. Cancer is a powerful teacher. It makes you look at your mortality. It makes you ask yourself what you're doing with your time here are Earth. I forgot there were wings on my back... cancer and the ppl who took care of me, made me remember. I kept a video diary. there are clips on youtube; http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1rS94deJ1BI Now I do all the things I used to be scared to do; ballroom dance competitions, audition for plays and films, forgive, say "I love you!", share my smile with a stranger to brighten their day... things I didn't have the courage to do before. THANK YOU CANCER AND MY ANGELS ON EARTH! Love, Jane PS~Death... I'm not afraid of You!!! PPS~Or you either, Cancer! ;-> Signed, |
