COT – “As my life has been altered once, it can change again…”
I was recently talking with someone who just found out their unborn child has down syndrome. The news seemed to come out of the blue and she is having trouble processing through it. I remember when I found out that I had cancer and it felt the same way – I woke up and everything was fine, and then someone told me I had cancer. We all come across things like this daily, big and small. And when you are hit by a big one or seem to be drowning under a LOT of little ones, it’s encouraging to me to remember that we don’t know what a day can hold. And we can just as easily get the worst news as get the best news. Yes, there was a day I was told I had cancer, but there was also a day when I met the love of my life. Both were unexpected. There were multiple days where I locked my keys in my car, but there were also days that I got an unexpected few hours to read in a coffee shop. There are days I feel fat and gross, but there are also days that I feel strong and beautiful. When a hard thing hits, definitely feel all the feelings but remember that it isn’t the end of the story, and who knows what gifts tomorrow might bring.
