Cancer makes you think…
Yesterday I found out that a family friend has been diagnosed with Lymphoma, and are having a very emotional time while the family waits for the Oncologist’s appointment. While this family goes through this difficult time, they are thankful that they have such a wonderful family and support system. Investing your time and emotions into friends and family (and don’t forget yourself) is so important. These are the people you have to rely on during difficult time, and they need you when they go through these times. We all have hard times at one time or another in our lives. Having a strong support system is so important to our lives and happiness. We need to place ourselves and those we care about as a top priority in our lives. I urge everyone to take time for themselves and those they care about every day. If it’s only 30 minutes, life is too short to not do what is import. Working hard (although important) is not the only thing we should have in our lives.
Having had my own share of cancer-related appointments I can’t agree with you more. Support from loved ones is the most important prescription you can get in times like these.
My thoughts and prayers are with your friend in this difficult time.
