    Those words
    I'm amazed at how far all of us have come since those words. We didn't wallow COMPLETELY (I did wallow a bit) in the words and the diagnosis. We overcame those words, we did the chemo's or the other alternatives, but we did what we could to live our lives to their fullest to our best. We do what we can, to keep on going, taking in words of encouragement to hold us for a little longer, giving words of encouragement to help others go on and keep on being themselves. It isn't easy living around cancer, but we've done it, we're doing it, and we'll keep on trying to get rid of those tumors. Those words, it turns out will be with us the rest of our lives. After all, they were harsh words to our ears, words we thought we would never hear. So we will carry those words with us, remember the date we heard them, but we won't let those words define us, remake us, or change us for the worse.
    We will strive on, we will not lie down and die, cancer can kiss our royal arses!!!

    Good words, Winter!
    Those are very inspirational words, Winter Marie; badly needed by me as I have been feeling really exhausted + a little down recently. It doesn't help that it is freezing out.
