It's Hard to Stay Positive..But It's A Must

I was "surfing" the web yesterday and I went to an old client's website in order to see what they were up to and how one of my former colleagues, Linda, was doing.  Linda is a very nice woman who was working as the lone Project Manager in the Company. She was always positive, friendly, and could handle a ton of work.  During the last couple of months of my engagement, Linda was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma of the face or Bone Cancer. I could see that she tried to put her emotions on the "back burner" while she was making arrangements to go see a specialist in South Florida.

Before Linda left for her leave, she asked me for advice on how to deal with all the aspects of having cancer. I remember telling her that it was okay to be angry, sad, and that it will get frustrating even when loved ones and friends are just trying to help. The most important thing and the hardest thing to do is to stay positive and to never give up (fighting). After my engagement at the client ended, I lost touch with how Linda was progressing. I checked in with a former colleague once or twice and always asked how Linda was feeling. That  is why I took it real hard yesterday when I saw the link on the client's website to Linda's "Go Fund Me" page and read about the struggles she has endured. I don't know if it was because I have been feeling like crap the past few days but just reading about all her facial surgeries and the post operative issues she has been having made me wonder why do nice and caring people like Linda have to go through this. I have my lovely and strong wife to help me in my fight but who is there for Linda and the others, without a strong spouse, struggling with the "aftermath" on a daily basis?

But then I re-read the updates and I realized Linda is not alone. She has a great support system of family and friends from her Church, who were nice enough to start her "Go Fund Me" site. Please keep Linda and all of the brave people young and old fighting their Cancer Battles on a daily basis in your prayers.

For all those fighting, Stay Positive, It's a Must!!!!
