You Can Get Back Up Again

My dear friend has been fighting cancer for the last six months so please say a little prayer for her You can get back up again Written By Dean Masciarelli December 1, 2009 We all face challenges every single day Yet some situations are worse then others So try not to let the trivial things knock you down And if life try’s to knock you down Remind yourself that you can get back up again I have learned that from a friend of mine Who's life is hanging on a limb And Her situation Started over five years ago When she was told that she had cancer And it didn't look very promising But some how by the grace of God She lived And then she was struck with cancer again And this time it was breast cancer And the doctor told her that in order for her to live That she had to have her breast removed And she thought about it for awhile And she made the decision That her life was more important So she told the doctor Take my breast off Because if it means that I can live longer I will fight with all my might until the very end Yet she hasn't been doing well Because of all the chemo treatments But yet she still takes the time to remind me often That life is for the living So try to live each and every day to the fullest Because none of us are promised tomorrow So do your best to live for today And live every moment as if it were your last
