Despite your current battle<\/p>\n
with the dreaded big ‘C’,<\/p>\n
you continue to amaze<\/p>\n
not only me,<\/p>\n
your courage is inspirational,<\/p>\n
your joy is a surprise,<\/p>\n
you’re very good at hiding<\/p>\n
the fear behind your smile,<\/p>\n
honestly my friend,<\/p>\n
you’d be well within your rights,<\/p>\n
to be a little selfish<\/p>\n
and focus on your fight,<\/p>\n
but your overwhelming instinct<\/p>\n
is to help others where you can<\/p>\n
where you get that strength from,<\/p>\n
I can barely understand,<\/p>\n
I find myself almost grateful<\/p>\n
for the journey you’re going through,<\/p>\n
for it’s dissolved all the walls<\/p>\n
and we see the true you.<\/p>\n
