Maro is encouraged by reading a blog every day by a mother who overcame cancer and who is still alive with cancer. I want to share it with everyone. Here is just a part of it.
By Yuko Ojima, the composer of the charity exhibition
================
It is enough for you to be there; Now you see many walls in front of you,
But we will overcome and clear each one by one,
And though it's often forgotten, the most important thing to remember,
You often think you are the person with the most pain,
But the people close to you are equally in pain.
While you experience the fear of “death,” your closest friends and family can't escape from the fear of losing you, as if trapped in a bottomless swamp,
That is hell.
So you don't need to do anything, Just be there.
It will take more time to regain your smile,
From the side effects of medication, you'll experience depression and emotions that you've never experienced before, and it will make you cry a lot,
“No more. This is enough. I want to quit my life.” Moments like that will come often.
But think-- when you give up, your closest family and friends also lose a precious part of their lives;
There is no way to describe in words this sense of defeat.
They blame themselves and suffer for the rest of their lives.
It will still take time until you can think cancer is a gift from heaven,
That moment will surely come to you.
You are not alone,
Let's overcome together,
We will come to see you,
Be together.
================
I am not the only one in pain,
I will fight with my best and never give up,
Just wait, My Dear Family and Friends...
