The "C" word

It's quite interesting how others respond to the "C" word.

It seems the typical scenario goes something like this:
First there's a long pause, a hesitancy, as though they are weighing HOW to reply. I have even found myself in the position of reassuring. I'm not so special or unique. I'm not a victim. Every day people deal with cancer.

It's okay to say the word, it's okay to talk about cancer, It's not a death sentence and even if it were, we can still enjoy today. We can still have joy. We can even LAUGH together.

There is blessing, even here!
Praise God in all things.
