The Cure 

Standard

Maybe the only true cure for cancer is compassion?

 As the disease spreads, so does kindness. No matter how aggressive of a cancer it is, I’ve never seen it outgrow compassion. 

When this bully shows up to threaten a life, love promptly shows up to defend and fight back. 

Unlikely people and communities band together. 

The many languages of love soften the grim diagnosis.  

Financial & logistical worries shrink with selfless donations of money, time, and acts of service. 

Thoughtful gifts bring much needed joy. 

Hands are held, hugs are given, & tears aren’t shed alone. 

Words of hope resonate louder & echo more than any of the scary medical lingo . 

Ceaseless praying seems to be the only thing that keeps the fear at bay. 

During the fight, silver linings are discovered in the darkest of circumstances: blessings counted, hope sought, strength found, grievances forgiven, souls saved, priorities reorganized, selfishness eradicated, hearts mended & lives changed forever.  

Cancer may win some battles, but LOVE wins the war!
