Written for a dear friend who is battling the big C. And to all who have someone close to their hearts that is also trying to fight the fight. "Fight the Fight" that was what one of my very close friends used to say before the big C stole his life a few years back. Why oh why, Lord does this even exist.

Can I ask you, Lord...why is there Cancer? And Lord, why did you ever make this exist, And... No disrespect, but this should Never Come to anyone. Please Lord, if you Can... End this, end this disease now, for-Ever Reaching out to you, Lord...Respectfully

I am convinced that death with its ache of separation lets us experience a minute drop of what it would be like to be separated from God. We are told that the suffering here doesn’t compare to the good things of heaven. My mom died from ovarian cancer. I am so sorry for your friend. I hope your friend wins the battle. No one wants this! Tears! Hugs…

The fall of Adam and Eve brought in illness. We have to live with it. But we are bound to ray for them. I don't think cancer is the worst disease. Dementia is far worse. Blessings.

Will keep your friend in my thoughts and prayers. Such difficult times. Sometimes i wish too that C didnt exist. So many battling with this. Sending you light today and always

Thank you so much, Ink. Your thoughts warm me... I lost my mom years ago from cancer- and like most of us, quite a few friends. Blessings and hugs coming your way :) Charlie
