The BIG "C"s in my life

Tweet

I have several big Cs in my life. One that has really made me appreciate life is when i was diagnosed to have cancer, stage 2A. I was very young then. My life was still budding and was starting to bloom. At first, i view it as something very light because every time I was asked how am i coping with it. I would simply say, it's just the third letter of the alphabet with a smile. They thought I was just really okay. But deep inside, I was mourning. The time of recuperation from the long treatment process, was also the time for me to recall how i have lived my life each day . i thanked the people who cared for me and those who have hurt me. I prayed a lot asking the Lord to give me the grace to accept things the way they are. Perhaps it worked because, my recuperating process was very fast.I realized that, there lots of 'big Cs in in my life aside from the "c' i mentioned . Another is to Care,to people around me,C- cherish the happy and sad memories i have of them because they have made me what i am now, compassion- for those who have less in life. Not just the material wealth but the immaterial ones like , family, love ones, health. These are the wealth that cannot be bought but they are as priceless as diamond. I also have the 'c' for companion'. During the treatment, i met several people undergoing the same treatment as mine and we became friends and good companions to one another. We built our support group so that we can handle our condition in alight manner. It worked.:-) Thus until now i'm still here. It was 8 years ago. I don't know until when can I have this borrowed life but I think I am now ready. SO the Big 'Cs' in my life gave me positive outlook in life and change me the way i see and handle situations especially those that I cannot control.:-)
