I, to bring hope, wrapped up in a smile. It, anguish and suffering. A wolf in sheep's clothing, its chilly icy fingers invading the mind and body. Each of us, players in the same game, with different goals. I, to support. It, showing no mercy. Yes, cancer has power, but it cannot take away your day by day strength, or the love of others around you, who watch you fight your battle with unfailing courage. It may go on its egotistic journey, eagerly searching its next victim, but you will never quench the spirit of human endurance, or the power of love. You amaze me, my friend. My heart warms with the gift you have given me, of meeting each day with gratitude, and to never give up. Thank you.
