You cannot
describe life in one word. It is beautiful, joyous, rewarding and
unpredictable. Yet it is also dark, depressing, hard and ugly. The joys and
heartaches are felt by everyone. It is a never ending circle.
When things
look their worst, all is never lost. I have had the opportunity to meet someone
that has become such an inspiration to me.
Marla Crider
is one of the strongest and bravest people I have in my life. A few months ago
she was diagnosed with breast cancer. I have seen what happens to so many
people when they get that kind of news. I expected her to slowly fall apart,
deteriorate. That is so far from what has happened. “I am so pissed off, this
is not going to keep me down!” She has remained resilient and determined. I
wish I had an inkling of the strength she has.
One of the
things she is doing to stay strong is share her experiences. For anyone
suffering from any affliction, just reading her blog will help give you
strength, hope and faith. I cannot wait for the day she defeats this monster
and to see how many people she has touched and given strength to. Follow her
blog here.
Life is many
things. Marla has seen the greatness as well as the despair. I hope you will
follow her blog and help give her strength. I know there are a lot of people
going through this same thing. Hopefully, she will give you strength to stay
strong and stay pissed off!
