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

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
