Stronger than you realize

 

“Cancer is just a blip in my already Blessed life”

Today I listened to my husband talk for 35 mins about how lucky he is, how Blessed his life is, how supportive our friends & family are, how much this cancer diagnosis has already affected him & how he tremendously wants to use this for good.

I sat there listening to him, wiping my own tears and was in awe of his strength. He admitted to me things I’ve never in 19years heard him admit. 

The truth is he never saw himself as strong.

This cancer diagnosis has made him see just how much he took for granted. How much he overlooked things and thought “I’ll do that later” And he’s realizing that things will be changing.

He is in awe of how much our friends & family have done. How much they’ve stepped up. 

He talked about how people have cleaned our house, cleaned out a bonus room, took 1600lbs of junk to the dump, mowed our lawns, bought groceries, cooked meals and so much more!! People have done this because they want to help. 

I re-iterated to him that they’ve also done this because Bill, my love, you Are a Good Man! 

You are stronger than you realize & you are a fighter!!
