Today I was given a solemn reminder of my (our) mortality. Being reminded of it is not a bad thing, but the circumstance is still sad. Today a friend, who'd been diagnosed at approximately the same time with the same cancer I had, passed away. Her fight was much more difficult than mine, so it's been an ongoing reminder, but her passing finally prompted me to write this post.
God has been unfairly good to me. October 7 of this year marked the five year anniversary of my last cancer treatment (surgery). Why did God keep me alive and allow so many others with similar health issues to pass? I'm guessing I won't get an answer to that question, but it does make me want to make sure I'm doing whatever it is He kept me around for.
Katrina, I know your family and friends will miss you dearly, but you now get to enjoy a beautiful new cancer-free body in the presence of your Savior. Someday we will meet again.
