One day everything is heading up and then the next day you learn some devastating news! We learned that my hubby's sister has thyroid cancer. She just found out today and will be having her thyroid out in order to remove the cancer.
We were able to go and visit her and her family tonight! We wrapped our arms around her and told them how much we loved her. I knew how she felt and could empathize with her. We talked for a very long time and I tried to share some things that I have learned to help her make it through these next few weeks. My husband and brother-in-law were able to give her a blessing tonight and she was promised she would be able to recover from this. It would take a lot of time but that she would make it through it all.
After tonight, I would have to admit that I was actually grateful for the opportunity to learn, through my own illness, how to help others struggling with physical challenges. It has helped me to know how to reach out to others and how to help them. One thing that has really helped me is to know just how much others do care. Showing love and support for others struggling can really keep those who are sick on even their most difficult days! I hope that I can keep on improving and that I can be there for my sister-in-law. Tonight I told her my motto, "I can do hard things" and shared some other things that I hope will help her! She is a very strong woman and she can beat this, I just know she can!
