stop it.

A good friend's husband just got diagnosed with brain cancer.

I am so mad that it happened again.
I'm mad it happened to them.
I'm sad that they have to go through all the crap I did.
I want to wrap my arms around them and tell them it will be okay.
I want to protect them,
I want to give them everything I learned.
Most of all I want for them never to have to go through any of this.

Suddenly becoming like the couple that helped us get through cancer makes sense to me. They were a couple from church who just went through breast cancer. Their passion, compassion, and wisdom helped us through the foggy roads we went down. I think this has got to be what survivorship means.
