Through the years I have cried many tears of happiness when life was good then came the cancer just as ugly as it sounds it took over my life
I spent many a day and night crying wiping them away with everything but my faith that once my source of comfort
Then one day there where no more tears just questions where are you I yelled to God I had become without feeling bitter and angry
These times had challenged my faith and isolated me from everyone family, friends and even God the one who had led me through it all
This illness had taken it toll not just mentally but physically I did not look the same nor could I walk without help
The dark side was winning as I looked at this person who was nothing but a bother who needed help to everything
But he would not let me fall he sent a friend who said come back to church with me
my answer was no of course
He was not done in my life she encouraged me to come again picking you up is not a problem my answer was yes though full of doubt
I arrived full of fear only to be greeted with smiles and hugs like I had been there always
we took our seats the music played
Familiar faces each took the stage to share something from the handout they shared personal stories and of how much more there was to learn
I looked down at the paper in my trembling hands and saw the tear stained pages not of sadness but joy I was in his house again
