My chrissy has a younger sister who has had cancer twice before in her life. She worked for a company where there is a very large percentage of people who developed cancer while and after working for that company. After the first recurrence, she lived in fear that it would return. She felt in her bones it would mean sure death, because she felt she could not handle another bout of it.
A few months ago she was told it was back..and it had spread to another organ.
She has had chemo and while she was certain it would not help, she put her faith in prayer, and in the comfort and courage of her family and friends who believed for her that this too, would pass.
Yesterday, the doctors told her she had absolutely no cancer in her!
chrissy wept. My physically big, emotionally strong and spiritually powerful man wept as he told me his sister was going to live.
I am by no means a Christian but they are. I participated in their prayer circles and did my own songs. We live across the nation from one another. She is in california and we are in Ohio. Battling this with her long distance made it even harder on all of us.
But thank heavens, the universe and everyone who participated in helping her keep above the darkness, for she is once again, a survivor...
