Words of wisdom

You never know how STRONG you are until being strong is the ONLY choice you have.

I found this yesterday randomly stumbling the web - it made me feel better.

People tell us to be strong all the time and you sometimes want to just curl up and cry - but we are you know, we are still here and we keep fighting. And this is why.

To all my incredibly brave and strong companions on this horrible journey, love and best wishes.

  • HI Magic Mum

    Found your words just when I need them, thanks  :-)  Just having a bit of a crap day today and its not even 8am yet! Its my sister's birthday today and I need to pull myself together, make the decision between wig or turban, quell the stomach ulcers and meet her for lunch.... I'm sure I will feel much better once I'm out but sometimes its a bit difficult to maintain that strength... there was a time in my 30's that life made for some big challenges and people who knew me back then asked - where did you get the strength? That quote sums it up exactly - when you need it, strength just comes. I am so grateful for that!

    how is your treatment going?
