As I am rounding the corner heading down the home stretch of my one minute videos in conjunction with Childhood Cancer Awareness Month; What would I have wanted to know when my son, Ryan, was diagnosed with cancer almost 25 years ago?
Today’s video explains…but only for a minute. Day 28 of CCAM - BRAVERY
It’s BRAVERY! That’s what I wish the docs/nurses/social workers would have told me. I guess they wanted me to see for myself what bravery looks like, and so it did.
What is the true meaning of bravery?
1 : the quality or state of having or showing mental or moral strength to face danger, fear, or difficulty : the quality or state of being brave : courage showing bravery under fire .
I’d have to say that Ryan was under fire most of his young life - from 2-10 years of age. Oh sure, there were good times thrown in for good measure, but it was the miracle of witnessing this kid battle on, and here is the big one, he never complained.
Please give your kids/grandkids/nieces/nephews an extra hug (or virtual hug) today.
Thank you for reading along with me and my words!
bSolielle!
