Dear Cancer,

You have entered into my life. Not by choice but by demand. You have forever changed me, my thoughts, my fears and my love.

You have changed my relationships. Teared some apart, brought some closer and rekindled others. I have learned that through the years I have met some wonderful people. People that have showed me compassion. You have taught me not to judge others. And I have learned that you impact others in so many ways. While others react to you in so many different ways.

I have been told to rest and relax as this is my time. But my time has always been being a wife, mom, daughter, sister and friend. This is not what I want as my time. But my true time will come.

You have made me find beauty when beauty was hard to find. I have learned that hair, weight and over all looks do not define you. It is your inner self and grace that make you feel beautiful. But let’s not kid ourselves, you have made me look the worst ever, although temporal.

So to you Cancer, I say screw you! I would say something else but I am keeping to being graceful! You have hurt so many and will continue to do so but you won’t take my life!

I am blessed! I got this!
