The Impossible
I'm not one to recommend movies, but I recommend THE IMPOSSIBLE, a film based on actual events from the Tsunami in the Indian Ocean in 2004. Eric and I went to see this last week, and I had no idea that going into this movie would have a profound impact on me. After seeing The Impossible, I decided my cancer journey was a cakewalk. It's interesting what we think we can handle and what we can handle.
Sometimes when my life is impossible to bear, I try to think about the people around me who are suffering tenfold more than I am. Perspectives change as I have learned to listen with my heart when patients talk to me about their journey with cancer, knowing their lives will end soon. I've learned that no matter what is happening in my life, someone always needs comfort, and They are put in my life at just the right time.
Some of the impossible things I thought I could never live through have become my sacred memories. Life is precious, it is supposed to be filled with fun, laughter, cake and ice cream, family, friends, and yes, the inevitable journey of life comes with hardships and trials--it's all part of the plan.
