A True Fighter
Yesterday, heaven got another beautiful angel. My friend, Jeanette passed away with a four year battle of various cancers. I know she is no longer in pain and suffering, the thought that cancer took another person just sucks. Jeanette was an inspiration to me. I owe her my attitude towards my MS. Jeanette was diagnosed with breast cancer a few months before I was diagnosed with MS. I would listen to her at work talk to her clients. She was sooo strong, she made humor out of it, and she had the strongest will power to FIGHT! I remember her words when I was given the diagnosis, you have MS. I remember thinking, I can fight this, I can do this, all thanks to her encouraging words. Now cancer and MS are completely different, I get that, it is her words and attitude that I thank her soo much for that I idolize. Her words and attitude will never be forgotten. I know I am not the only one who thinks this. I have been fortunate enough to help her with her clients along her journey. So getting to know them and talk how amazing she is with them will keep her spirit alive. This Friday, we are walking in the Relay For Life in honor of my friend Megan's mom, who was an amazing fighter as well. We know have another fighter to walk for too!
