“Why me?” was the wrong question for me. “Why not me?” is the better question. “Why me?” keeps you stuck there. “Why not me?” puts you back into the world again. As far as I’m concerned, you’ve given up the battle when you ask, “Why me?”

 

I worried that after my treatments I would forget to bless every moment. I wanted to remember that every day I woke up was a day that I had not been promised, and that my child is the biggest blessing I have ever been given, even when he makes me mad. And I still realize that he needs more hugs and kisses than reprimands.
