Once again today I was amazed at the love and generosity shown to me as a result of cancer. I had stopped at a yard sale and inquired about a large item. As usual, when i am unsure if I really want an item, I will use the excuse that I need to check with my honey first, although he has never denied me anything that I really wanted. I then picked up another item unneeded by me while I have no hair. This led to a heartfelt discussion regarding the fact that she was a 14 year survivor and the grim prognosis I had in the beginning to where I am now in treatment. With tears in her eyes she tells me that she wants me to have the original item I was unsure about. It was something she had purchased when she was diagnosed that in a way had helped her through her diagnosis and had sat in her garage unused for more than a decade. When I went back later this afternoon to pick this item up, there was more discussion and more tears. I am truly touched by the people who barely know me or who start out as strangers and show so much emotion regarding the fragility of my life and what could be but is not, only by the grace of god. I can only hope that someday I will be able to help someone or mean so much to someone affected by cancer. And I am no less humbled or amazed by the love shown to me by family and feiends, I expect it from you all. Not because I expect it from you but because you all are such awesome people anyway, I know I can count on you all for love and support.
