“A beautiful person is with you, confide your problems.”
The c-word: Cancer. I’ve had so many friends and family battle this monster. Sometimes I feel like Mona AlvaradoFrazier when she talks about her friend Michele Serros: https://alvaradofrazier.com/2015/01/06/michele-serros-author-poet-friend/
I wish there was a four-letter word I could use in conjunction with this devastating illness: Cure. And here’s another c-word: Curtail. Well, at least marriage has been shown to help…so let love birds sing!
Unfortunately, that doesn’t mean the C-headed beast doesn’t claw couples as well. But it is wondrous to see the spouse that stands by their mate. Because although the big C can chomp on physical weakness, it can’t sever emotional strength.
Nice to know.
Thanks for dropping by!
Thanks for the reference to my blog post. This resonates with me, “…although the big C can chomp on physical weakness, it can’t sever emotional strength.” As a cancer survivor myself, and who knows of many cancer thrivers, I can say that cancer tests emotional strength. Many more times than not, emotional strength develops even more.
Thanks for the kind words, Mona. I continue to be inspired by your strength!
