Hello Everyone:

Cancer.  Still everywhere and all kinds and types. I know I am one of the lucky ones.

I attended the funeral today of a friend of mine who fought valiantly and bravely but at the end, cancer won. He was only 34. All through his journey, my friend continued to have a spark and an amazingly positive attitude throughout. He never gave up hope that he would return to work and continue to live and experience life. I think it is our belief in the trust and hope we have placed in ourselves and an inner-strength that carries and helps us during these times.

HOPE. It is a good friend.
TRUST. Helps to bring the mind at ease.

Whatever any outcome is, keep Hope and Trust close by. We trust that we are doing the right things and hope that because of that we will be able to see them through.

I trust each and everyday that I am doing the right things to live a healthy and happy life. That said, I also hope that it stays that way. With the number of recurrences that happen, it’s hard not to think about it. Especially on days like today when I know that cancer has taken a friend away. Truthfully, I get a little frightened.

To my “office little brother”:
You have left us all some wonderful memories. Your care and devotion will still be a guide. And though we cannot see you, those who knew you will still have you by their side.

Be happy. Smile a lot. Trust and Hope.

Love, Winnie
