this weekend i got to see my aunt who is fighting cancer. we thought the worst was past us but they recently found a set of tumors in her brain. now aside for the chemo that she had for her breast cancer, she now has to have chemo treatment for cancer that has spread to her brain. she also had a total knee replacement that she's rehabbing for. now reading this you probably have a mental picture of a weak, unhealthy person that probably didn't take care of herself too well in the past. but my aunt is a strong, passionate, uplifting, and warm woman. she's probably one of the most inspirational people that i've ever meet. she's a very caring woman that always did her best to give her family nothing less than everything they wanted, but at the same time showing them that things don't just magically appear. she's always there for her friends, to laugh, to cheer, and to listen. she literally gives her all and lives life to the fullest.

so it's sad for me to hear about all of these recent struggles that have bring her down. but when i see her, it takes away my sadness and replaced with joy and hope. she never shows signs that she's hurting when i know every minute painful. and she always talks about the progess that she's making, no matter how big or little. she's soo strong for putting soo much effort into getting better.

now all i wish is that all of our prayers are answered. especially when a person like this who hasn't done anything wrong, lived the way of the lord, and has been there for others even when their chips are down. for her family, especially my best friend and his brother and sister, i feel for them soo much. they are strong, wise, independent and optimistc just like their mom. i see that they are hurt and i know that if they could do anything to take the cancer away they could.

this isn't over and i know that auntie will beat the hell out this cancer and defeat it for good. i know this, because anything less would be fall way short of auntie's standards. and aunite doesn't settle for less. so with that we continue to pray and know that we are with you every step of the way.
