He was taunting me as we stood vigil outside her surgery room door. I thought we traded her reddened scars, blonde hair and sickened time on the bathroom floor for his promised vanishing act.
I thought I heard Cancer laughing as I knelt there praying…
The stench of him filled my nostrils as I offered my humble prayers for her strength and healing. We stood as one unflinching and empowered from Above bound together by the cords of love.
I thought I heard Cancer laughing as she lay there dying…
But this time it was my sweet Grace laughing and the joy of her heart filled my own. She stood strong in the One who gave her Life. Never would she be a victim or an excuse just pure love, effervescent joy and unexplainable peace.
I thought I heard Cancer laughing as I stood there weeping…
But this time it was my weeping that had turned to laughter when I realized my sweet Grace had just traded her cancer ravaged body for a brand spanking new one. Her time of suffering was over and all her pain was gone.
I thought I heard Cancer weeping as I stood there laughing…
In the end all he got was a used up body while Grace gain Heaven. I laugh harder through my tears and pain knowing Grace won and I will see her again.
I thought I heard our voices and our banner raised high. Never will we give in! Never will we give up! We stand together and we fight!
