We Still Have Love

I think there are times when we lose sight of just how lucky we are. Still are.

Many of us who write on this blog have lost the loves of our lives. Others have lost dear loved ones who had major roles in shaping our lives. Unfortunately, some of us wear both those banners.

And there are those waking up this morning, still pushing life, in the midst of struggle. They probably won't win, but they also won't quit. Cancer's not for quitters. Cancer builds fighters.

The ingredient that puts us all under the same tent? Love ... from those we care about the most. As much as we give, we get back, times ten. We're so lucky. But sometimes, the sadness and stress that come with fighting cancer put that love in the shadows.

So what do you say? Put the hard part of cancer aside and feel the love a little this weekend.

We've got nothing to lose.
