A couple of weeks ago I spoke with my aunt donna who is very sick. She was diagnosed with breast cancer back in april. She has found out that her cancer is extremely aggressive, and it has spread throughout her entire body. She was explaing to me that the chemo is making her bleed in places it shouldn't, and that her beautiful hair is starting to fall. And she had to be rushed to the hospital for complications from the chemo. As she is explaining all of this to me, I start to tear up. All the while, she remains the positive one. At the end of our conversation she had said to me, "I have been praying for you and your new job." Right then and there, I lost it. I thought to myself, 'how is she the positive one when I am supposed to be? 'Why is she the one praying for me, when I should obviously be the one praying for her?'.
When I spoke with her a couple of days ago, I presented her with a charity event that my family and I are holding in honor of her name; She broke down and cried, and kept saying that she didn't deserve this. I explained to her that her health and her being present for her 7 kids is the number one priority. And as I was about to leave she wished me goodbye, and said I will be praying for you! It is truly amazing how she is so beautifying, and elevating in such a way that it touches my heart and soul, and everyone around her feels the power of her strength and beauty. I am forever grateful to have a person like her in my life.
