The Gift of Life
Last night I saw a guy sing about his struggles and survival
after bone cancer was diagnosed in his upper left jaw#
Life is a gift
This morning I received continuing physical therapy to allow me to walk,
something I could easily do before sarcoma cancer surgery and radiation
A healthy life is a gift
Next week I will get my blood tested to determine how chemo #4*
is attacking the cancer cells in my abdominal area
The state of our medical world is a gift
The belief that there are multiple ways to live a joyful life under
the most dire situations is the gift I celebrate each day
Life is my present
