Just so you know

The people in my life are amazing. When we received the news of my son Ronnie's cancer diagnoses our world turned upside down. Without the love and support of family and friends I'm not sure how we could have ever walked alone. The outpouring of cards, messages, phone calls, visits and prayers has been a humbling experience. I'm so grateful that my world consists of kindness rather than hatred. I feel hurt knowing there are people who are filled with bitterness and hate and cast it on others. I feel hurt knowing other people don't have the support system that I have been blessed with. I have been dealt a heavy burden but I promised myself and God that I will pay it forward to help others in need.

My son is not in remission yet. My hearts desire and my faith will take me to the day he is. It will be a new beginning filled with hope. A life that encourages others, a life that gives back to others, a life that I will build to make a difference because others made a difference for me.

Writing this brings tears to my eyes because never have I  experienced the love and understanding that was shown to me when my life changed.
