I fought the battle and won.

Now I'm back and better than ever.

For cancer has been a mirror

held up in front of me.

It forced me to take

a good look at myself.

And bluntly asked

"Where are you going?"

It made me redefine my priorities.

Teaching me that it really is the little things that make life sweet.

It gave me the vision to see

angels walking among us. Calling themselves friends and family

They touched my life deeper than

I ever dreamed possible.

Cancer asked me to embrace

the change in myself;

The change that forced me to grow and become the person I always wanted to be but never seemed to have the time to achieve.

Change always involves risk.

Stepping from the known

into the unknown.

I had to embrace uncertainty and accept that I was not in control.

It's been the ultimate

test of my character.

Forcing me to trust my heart

and reach deep inside.

For

Strength

& 

Power

I never knew I had.

I came to realize that even though

I had cancer 

I was never a victim.

I am a survivor in

Heart

& 

Spirit

and always will be.

Even if that test

takes me to my

last breath.

Cancer truly is a defining moment,

a moment that made me

redefine the impossible.

And since I did,

nothing will ever be the same again ..................

it will be better
