Normally I try to keep my little piece of the internet a happy place, but I can't lie- this week has been really rough. My greatest fear in life is that something bad could happen to the people that I love. I know it is terribly naive to live my life under the impression that those I love are surrounded by some sort of bubble, but so far in my 27 years I have been very blessed. And then suddenly, the words "stage IV cancer" came to describe someone I love more than words, and I am slowly digesting everything these 3 words mean. The perspective on life which I thought I had has suddenly been turned upside down and inside out. I just wanted to say that I am sorry for leaving the blog quiet lately, I promise to be back next week blogging happier things.
Thank you as always for reading and all the support you have shown me- you really are the best.

ReplyDeleteAshley - 3 years ago I had the same thing happen to me. My father was diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. The statistics were not good and we only expected to have him for 18 months at the most but he has beaten the odds and is still with us today. Despite being a horrible disease cancer does have a good side to it. It certainly has made me live in the moment more and I tell my loved ones how much I love them all the time.
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts.
