Отрывок из книги

This book has my name on the cover, but it is truly God’s project. Thank you, Lord, for the wonderful blessings that have accompanied this entire project. Always keep me mindful of the many daily blessings and Proverbs 3:5-6 on this great adventure of life.

The book you are now holding is a true labor of love! Many people worked diligently to make this a reality. This section is to acknowledge their hard work and dedication to the project.

.....

I was hopeful that I could get at least 50 women and men to share their stories as a survivor or caregiver or medical assistant. WOW!!! I never expected to have a completed book with over 120 stories!! In a small twist of faith – yes, faith, or maybe a little quirky, whenever I see a number that is in order like 234, or 456, etc., I always send up a little prayer of thanksgiving for the many blessings in my life. If you take the time to count the number of people who have a story featured here, there are… 123!!! Some days, I thought my e-mail was going to explode! I also firmly believe this may just be the first edition of a series, who knows!

There are all kinds of stories in this book. I am certain that something here will resonate with every reader. For some of the stories I should probably issue a “tissue warning”, and for others a laughter warning, just Depends – yes, the pun IS intended!! There are stories that will warm your heart; make you laugh; cause you to pause for reflection; sometimes make you a bit angry; and others that simply tell a story of a courageous woman’s journey through life.
