First, I would like to say I am thankful for creative places to snooze and cuddle. I am also thankful that I was safe through the thunderstorm that we had today. We don’t get them often.
I would like to take this moment to be thankful for our health. Even Georgia. She is still with us. The Woman had a conversation with a friend. Her friend was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months ago and this was their first opportunity to sit and chat.
The Woman was moved by the sincerity in what was said. As they chatted–all those things that make you wonder what could have caused this to happen, her friend said “I don’t worry about “why me” very much. I mean the first answer that always came up was why NOT me?”
We are thankful to have our lives touched by someone who has found so many positive learning experiences from something so traumatic. We can only hope that in some small way we can pass on that wisdom to others.
Chey, we are very glad that Georgia is still with you. It sounds like your mom’s friend has a great attitude. Our dad’s mom is a breast cancer survivor, and our mom’s dad is a prostate cancer survivor. Nearly everyone knows someone who has been affected by one of these two cancers.
Your Mom’s friend sounds very smart. I hope she fights very hard!
Such a wonderful post, Chey. It is important to be thankful for the wonderful blessing we have.
we are thankful to have all of you as wonderful furriends.
we hope that your mom’s friend will be cured and live many more happy years.
That’s a very nice post, Chey. Your Lady’s friend sounds like a wise person.
Your mom’s friend is very wise and brave. I hope she wins the fight! I’ll be purring for her.
That really is an amazing attitude! And you have amazing beauty my dear. Your eyes are so lovely.
Thanks for reminding us to be grateful for our health. I am grateful for each day I have with my sister Pixie.
Thanks for the great post! Mom’s auntie is a breast cancer surviver. Your mom’s friend is strong, we will purrr for her a winning fight!
Since 9/11 a lot more people have realized how quickly things can change, and that we have to make every day count. Your human mom’s friend sounds as though she has the right attitude for the upcoming fight.
I always like when you have a thankful thursday, Chey. I am thankful for the two times that my mom was a cancer survivor and thankful for the time we have with her now even though she is in stage 4 cancer. I think your mom’s friend is very smart and very brave!
