You will regain your your strength soon. Your brawl with cancer does remind us of the spiritual parallel in the teaching of our Lord in Matthew-6.

You seemed so brave. Your attitude even as a young teenager was so unbelievable to me. And now even after all you've been through your attitude still astounds me.
