Thank you, Cancer.
From where I stand, I’m looking at the sky and thinking of the seemingly unaware people around me.
Thank you, Cancer.
As I close my eyes, I remember my family members who have been torn from this world by cancer’s iron fist.
Thank you, Cancer.
Seemingly insignificant things such as walking across the street in mid-day traffic now seem a world away.
Thank you, Cancer.
My legs are paralyzed, my vision is gone – what is left to appreciate the falling snow, the shining sun and the stars in the sky?
Thank you, Cancer.
I am enveloped with love, I feel the grip of community bringing me back to life. Blood begins to flow through my veins.
Thank you, Cancer.
I am alive.
