Have a heart!

My dearest friend and sister is awaiting some potentially scary health news.  She has to have some tests to see if her cancer has returned, or as we all hope, just has some scar tissue from a previous surgery.  What I fail to understand is the response she gets when she shares her news.  Why, in the name of all that is decent, do people have to share THEIR HORROR STORIES with her?  Why would any person do that?  Is that what THEY would want to hear?  I suggest that if anyone shares scary news with us, that we think about what we would like to hear, something that will lift us up.  Please... take the time to think before you speak on these matters.  The fact is that my dearest, sister friend is the strongest person I know and she will survive and thrive anything that comes at her with grace and the support of all who love her. Hold her in the light!
