Strength

I met a woman Lauren,whose teenage daughter was diagnosed with cancer. She fought it for 2 years and died when she was 19.

Lauren sat and told me her story with such strength and grace that is was overwhelming....I pretty much lost it!!!

My mind went straight to my teenage grandsons.....I thought......if anything happened to them I would totally give up.

I think it is just human nature to complain and feel sorry for themselves when things aren't going your way and think..WHY IS THIS HAPPENING TO ME.....or.......I am so sick of bad things happening.

I realized that my life is great! I may not have the biggest house or a huge bank account...but my life is rich in so many ways.

Lauren took her experience and started an organization called Melissa's Living Legacy/Teens Living With Cancer! www.melissaslivinglegacy.org
