Breast Cancer



Thought I had the flu
So I went to the hospital for a cure
Turns out that wasn’t what was wrong
They said it was Cancer for sure
So they did a left & right mastectomy
Along with removing some lymph node
Then they found more
I guess this will be a long road
Everyone has been helpful
And supportive in every way
I appreciate all you guys do for me
Each and every day
But this is God’s plan for me
To work with what has been dealt
And endure to the very end
Together with everyone’s help
I think it was His way
To bring everyone back together
To pool once again as a family
No matter the stormy weather
So keep in mind you’re a Child of God
That He is in control
And if we cling to the Iron Rod
Back to Him we can go

    God is who help keep me going every day. He is the reason I'm living and everything we go through in life just makes us stronger and become the person we are today. Everything happens for a reason. This story just may help someone going through the same thing realize that there is still hope for them. God's word tells us he will never put more on us then we can handle but if he does, he will give us a way out so that we are able to bear it. Keep inspiring others.
