I’ve walked the
hospital halls of cancer wings. I know the somberness that exists on even
the sunniest of days. My heart goes out to every patient who is numb with worry
and overwhelmed by treatments. And I know the fear and sorrow of those who love
cancer patients and watch with helpless hands.
Cancer patients are an army of their own of many ages and
colors – the ones who live daily with cells that must be killed – the brave
cancer warriors who fight every minute while we walk through our days
complaining about the humidity or traffic.
We honor you, we hope
with you, and when we can we’ll fight with you. We’ll be your marrow donors
and we’ll hold the basins when you’re vomiting from chemotherapy and stroke
your forehead.
We’ll read Scripture and joke books to you and be your
encouragers and help you tie scarves around your bald heads and really mean it
when we say the wig looks good. We’ll sit in quiet rooms while you sleep and
watch movies with you that will make you laugh in spite of everything.
Never will we stop caring
and fighting and we won’t let you either until we’re sure heaven is your
next best step. Because we long for you to live among us for many years to
come.
In the tiniest way I hope to help you with a free resource.
It talks about hoping when you feel hopeless and looking to God who will
sustain you. And finding your way through scary medical options.
