There is no way to be prepared to literally fight for your own life.
We do not often contemplate our own mortality until our mortality is threatened, then there is the numbing feeling that washes over the skin leaving one without words, and only mantra of “oh shit, oh shit, oh shit oh shit" running rampant through the mind.
Stunned, we make our journey into the fight to live not at all realizing how tough the struggle will be, and kicking ourselves for taking for granted the precious time we have already been given.
Remembering the times we cursed life and fell into “woe is me” moments over loss of jobs or being short on money to pay a bill, taking for granted the important aspects of life which are health and people who love us more than we have realized, and maybe we did not take the time to love them back, or care for their feelings or needs.
And then the fight for our lives begin, and we look back knowing how wrong we were.
Life is better than we believe, even through the treatments and pain and anxiety we feel while battling cancer, one more day, hour, minute, second is worth more than any million dollar winning ticket.
Living in the now is they key. Breathing in the air is joy. Seeing the beauty all around is sacred. People that love us should be our purpose.
Live and fight!
Good Luck.
