MILE 25...LETTER Y.
Y IS FOR....YUCKY!
- Needles are YUCKY and scary.
- Throwing up is YUCKY.
- Taking medicine is super YUCKY.
- Cancer is mean and YUCKY.
Maybe today's should have read, "Y IS FOR HONESTY!"
Many kids have no filter.
They tell it straight out.
"Mommy...that man is bald."
"Mommy...that man has a gray beard."
"Mommy...Cancer is MEAN and YUCKY."
ANYONE who is in the fight....knows it's a fight.
They know it's not fun to be sick. It's not fun to be a human pin cushion.
IT'S YUCKY!
BUT.....if we can embrace the YUCKY and keep fighting....we'll win!
I have a friend who usually tags his posts on Facebook with #embracethestrugglecelebratethevictory
So, if you know someone in the fight....be there for them. Listen to them. Embrace the struggle with them.....AND....CELEBRATE THE VICTORY!
FINAL NOTE:
