"Turning into the skid" really is an accurate description of what we must do when the big C makes us suddenly slide out of control. I've been there too. Stage 4 colon cancer. Two major surgeries. 18 months of FOLFOX chemo. From that perspective, I do affirm your courage in facing this bravely and well! If you'd be interested in some things I wrote when going through the valley, I'd be happy to share (just email me at eamcquitty@irvingbible.org). . .All the best as you fight the good fight!amcquittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00264940896730447567noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218203.post-50222737178718582592012-05-17T01:56:08.239-05:002012-05-17T01:56:08.239-05:00In my world, bravery is defined by being smart eno...In my world, bravery is defined by being smart enough to be scared by something, but doing it anyways... So you've got that part down.<br /><br />That said, one thing a friend of mine said about her own trials sticks in my mind when I read this "everyone always says I'm so strong and so brave... And all I can think is 'it's not really like I have another option, I'm just dealing with the hand I've been dealt.'"<br /><br />Still, it's amazing the things we never knew we could face without hesitation until we became parents, did we. Hang in there my friend... You'll still have those cranky days. But now you'll have some good excuses for them! :)Lucretiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12442526711480200009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5218203.post-90611407934630867362012-05-16T14:20:56.613-05:002012-05-16T14:20:56.613-05:00Oh, Randy Hardlander!
