WHAT DO YOU SAY TO A FRIEND WHO IS FIGHTING THE “GOOD FIGHT” WITH CANCER?
MAYBE SAY NOTHING. JUST BE THERE WITH THEM. YOU MAY DISCOVER YOUR FRIEND WILL ALREADY KNOW WHAT IS NEEDED WHEN WAKING UP TO THE SAME CHALLENGES. . .
“I sat on the bench in our small front garden, and as our cat, Sun Dance, brushed his tail along my calf, I felt a love I don’t always understand radiating joy deep within my heart.”
William Baun, Wellness Officer, MD Anderson Cancer Center (2015, In Memoriam)
“Dear Friend, I can’t help but believe that every sunset, sunrise, and the brush of Sun Dance’s tail is God saying “Here is my beauty and love for you. My gift to you. I am here with you in the magnificent and the misty mire. Even when you don’t understand, you know that I do. And that is enough . . . freedom from fear, journey to joy. Rest awhile with Me.”
