Sibling Rivalry


I won't believe in this cancer, in this disease.

I won't accept the pain, the discomfort and the uncertainty as proof that the cancer has power over me.

I won't invest in the fear that its stronger then me, then God, then all else.

I won't allow this affliction to rob me of who I am, what I believe in, or crack the foundation of my faith.

I'm not falling into the darkness and despair or the hopeless visions that so pull at me.

Though the arrows come from every side, attacking in my weakest moments, my faith tethers me to the Truth and Light.

I will not drown in these shadow of lies.

Well said GG. Cancer is not you, it can attack your body but it has no purchase on your soul, your spirit, or your faith. In all these you can decide what happens, how you respond.

It can create tumours, or do what it will - and you can fight back and win. But beyond even that battle is a place that it can never get to if you face it with the attitude and determination and self belief that you talk of here - that place is you

Thinking of you.
