OK. So my mom has cancer. For sure. At least we know it’s still in the early stages. No real harm done. It’s actually good news.

But something I’ve experienced was how people react upon bad news… The first thing almost everybody told me was…”Everything will be all right”… I appreciated their enthusiasm and the fact that they wanted to help. But hearing the same thing over and over and over, you start to get the feeling of doubt. At one stage I told one of my friends : “Don’t tell me that it will be all right, prove it to me.” A bit cynical I know.

But in the end everything will be all right. Maybe not according to what you might want, but rather to what God has planned for you in your life. I fully trust that He will guide us, especially mom, through these times. The best thing to do is to trust and truely believe.
