Cancer…..It’s appetite is ravenous, 6 months ago

insatiable,and never ending.
It’s pull can be harder than the strongest will to live.
Today the famous Farrah Fawcett lost her life to it…… no amount of money or fame could save her…….and several weeks prior,someone very near and dear to me , though much lesser known, lost their personal battle with this merciless, and unforgiving demon.
It’s hand is hard and cold, and it leaves behind large raw and ragged holes in the hearts of those left behind.

It hurts to stand so close to it, and know there is nothing you can do.

cketh I wish you all with all my heart a VERY HAPPY 2010!

sorry for your loss

I’ve lost my grandma to cancer… she battled for a whole year and in the end it was kind of a relieve that she didn’t have to suffer so much anymore…
I still believe we’re getting each time closer – hope is all we have in a situation when we feel so powerless.
Be strong.

Your story is much like mine CKeth.

It was my Gran I lost as well, and she battled it out for nine months from when she first started to become very ill. She was like my Mom, my Gran,and my best friend all rolled into one, and always, ALWAYS seemed so happy to see me. No other could replace her. And of the four Grandmothers I have had since being born, she was also the last. Sadly a chapter of my life is closed for good…..but perhaps soon a new one will open for the world when we discover a way to remove this suffering from our lives for good.
Like you say, hope is all we have, and we are getting closer every day.
