A Word

A word was spinning around in my head, Cancer was what the doctor had said. Numbness, foggy, what shall I do, how can I fight this for my family too. My first thought, but soon that passed. Acceptance, non resistance, then it can't last. Trust in my body a strong belief within. You are in remmission. A word now is free.

Remission is a word one of my students an 8-year-old boy was very fond of saying for he had gone through chemo due to this horrible, awful, ugly disease. Paula, welcome to Poetry Soup. If this is true, and I hope it is, remission is HOPE. So that is great! Congratulations!
