Kick Cancer’s Butt

November 20, 2017

You never think it will touch your family.

But it does.

You never want it to.

But it happens.

You never ask for the sympathy.

But you get it.

You never know what it means.

But someone does.

You never go back to being normal.

But other people do.

You never know what will happen next.

But neither does anyone else.

You never ask for this burden.

But neither does anyone else.

You never wish this upon anyone else.

But everyone prays for you.

You never think you can battle.

But you do.

You never thought you’d have cancer, Gramma

But you do.
