My Journey Through Cancer - Part Two September 28, 2012

July 17, 2012, I was given the news that one of my cancers returned and matastisized. And at best I was given a year to live. Last year when I went through cancer, it was tough and very painful. There were times I seriously considered ending my life as I did not think I could deal with the physical pain of dying. I am amazed at how much Abba Father has done in my life in the last year. I can honestly say that I have such a deep peace about what I am waling through this time around. And I have a strength about me that I know is not of my own. And I am so blessed to have such awesome friends in my life who are walking this journey with me. Friends that will allow me to be real with them, but won't allow me to fall into depression. Right now as I write this, I am in Saint Augustine with my son, his wife and their daughter. My son Greg and his wife Kari have gone back home and their daughter is spending the night here at the Motel with me. And I am thinking of how blessed I am. Tomorrow we will  be going fishing. In the last 6-7 years I have lived a life that I did not think possible. I have been blessed in ways that I never thought possible. And my life is full of friends. I have gone from a person who was going to end my life back in 1990-something, to actually looking forward to each day I wake up as I know who holds tomorrow. I am not the same person I was prior to 6-7 years ago and am so thankful I am not. And I am sure those who are in my life today, who knew me at my worst, are also thankful. (hehe)
