Telling adults I had been diagnosed with breast cancer was easy. Telling my children was different. How do you tell your kids that you have a disease that kills thousands of women every year? How do you tell them that there is really no cure for what you have? In a period of just a day or two, I had been handed the biggest “teachable moment” of my life...
When unfortunate circumstances happen, you have choices. You can curl up in a ball and quit, feeling sorry for yourself, or you can accept what has happened and fight. My choice, of course, was to fight!
"A happy person is not a person in a certain set of circumstances, but rather a person with a certain set of attitudes."
