Today, I went to a funeral. The lady was a family member of mine, but I wasn't super close. I mean, don't get me wrong, we were close, but we weren't as close as we should've been. This lady (not saying names for privacy reasons) was an amazing lady. She had a hard shell outside but was so loving on the inside. You never had to worry about what she thought about you or a decision you made because you would tell you before you could even ask and she never sugar coated it. It was always the truth and sometimes, it was a harsh truth. She was a Christian lady and went to church every Sunday. And she loved her grandchildren very much. Well, about a year ago, she was diagnosed with cancer. After a fight with that and all of the prayers we sent her way, she went back for another check up and all of the cancer that littered her body had completely disappeared. We were all amazed at the Lord's work. Well, she ended up getting more cancer and she fought it until her last breath. Her passing broke all of our hearts. But at the same time, we are all happy that she is in Heaven now. She is no longer hurting. She no longer has cancer. She no longer has to worry about it. She is now up in Heaven with her mom and dad and everyone else. I've always thought that funerals should be celebrating the lives of the people we lose. Of course, it is so hard to lose those close to us. It is hard and sometimes, we don't understand and we ask God why.
Cancer is an awful thing. It is amazing how we have all of this new technology and different things that we don't need, however, we still don't have a cure to Cancer. And it seems to me, that once a person has cancer, they almost always get it again. Like, once they get it the first time, even if they fight it and it goes away, it will reappear somewhere else.
