A Brighter Tomorrow

For many years I went to sleep every night dreading tomorrow. Because when tomorrow came that usually meant another love one is dying, died or been given the death sentence known as breast cancer. But that was then and this is now. Now when I sleep because of pink I look to awake to a brighter tomorrow. A brighter tomorrow where breast cancer is discovered early enough that everyone with it can be in remission and live a full healthy life. A brighter tomorrow where the gene that causes the cancer can be removed so mothers don't have to worry whether or not their daughters will contract the disease. A brighter tomorrow where husband like me don't have to watch the love of our life slow wilt and die but instead we get to grow old and gray with the one we love. I dream of waking up in the morning and seeing the sun's yellow rays pink because this will symbolize a truly brighter tomorrow because they have found a cure and that day will truly be a brighter tomorrow for sure.
