Come to me now
And lay your hands over me
Even if it's a lie
Say it will be alright
And I shall believeI'm broken in two
And I know you're on to me
That I only come home
When I'm so all alone
But I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
Please say honestly you won't give up on me
And I shall believe And I shall believe
Open the door and show me your face tonight
I know it's true No one heals me like you
And you hold the key
Never again would I turn away from you i'm so heavy tonight
But your love is alright
And I do believe
That not everything is gonna be the way you think it ought to be
It seems like every time I try to make it right it all comes down on me
Please say honestly
You won't give up on me
And I shall believe
I shall believe..........Sheryl Crow
This track was playing in my car today when I received a text from my very very bff in Texas. She's scared. Overwhelmed. Confused. The words that were spoken to her have made her this way. She has cancer. She had the bout of cervical last year. Had surgery. Chemo. MRI'S. IT was gone. She was clean. Healthy. Last week there was a lump in her breast. She went to the Dr.. Biopsy. MrI'S. CT Scans. Breast lump fine. MRI'S/CT Scans. Not fine. She has cancer in her stomach/esophagus. She goes is Monday for surgery. I'm scared. I'm foggy. I'm confused.
She has been in my life since we were 16 years old. That's when we met. From that moment on we were inseparable. Though our lives have taken us in different directions/locations/situations. We have always stayed connected. I was there for the birth and death of her 1st child. I was there for the birth of her 2nd child. She was here for the birth of my son. She is the ying to my yang. I don't know what to say to her. Anytime I even so much as think the words I break down in tears.
I know it is not in my hands. As the song states. I know that life doesn't turn out the way you think it should. I just want her to know. I'm not giving up on you. So please don't you give up on you. Have faith. Please.
I just wanna cry.......no fair....no fair....no fair......I don't want to play the grown-up anymore.

I went through all of this with my mom. For over 15 years, back and forth from breast cancer, to the liver. Spots on her spine, to her kidneys. There is nothing you can say or do to make them feel better, just be a friend and listen and be there when they need you. My Mom died last December and it was very hard to lose her, but I know she is not suffering anymore.
I wish your friend the best, and I will keep her (and you) in my thoughts and prayers :)
Thank you Amy, soooo much. I've lost a grandfather and grandmother. A very dear friend. all to cancer. It blows. Have a wonderful weekend !!!! Thank you again.
