... in response to GREAT NEWS! IT SEEMS OUR BOY IS CANCER ..., posted by Oscar on Mar 14, 2003Happy to hear that this was not as serious as it first seemed to be , and that your son is OK .
I know that this was quite an ordeal for your family . We must make the best of whatever hand we are dealt in our lives . Sometimes it takes an event like this to make us stop and think about how short life really is ; and how precious it really is . About what things in life are important ; what really matters and what doesn't . Sometimes it takes something like this to give us a sense of appreciation for all the simple day-to-day things in our lives we had previously taken for granted .
Perhaps months from now when this is all behind you , you may look back on these days and see how this has brought your family even closer together . I think that you and your loved ones will have a closeness and strength that few of us will ever enjoy . Your family is now one entity ; cemented and welded together through this ordeal . The emotional bonds forged in the fires of adversity are the strongest ones of all .......
Wishing only the best for you and yours ,
Don
