please note, this was inspired by a blog post I read months ago. can't recall all the post but I loved the idea. now that my life is including more than just battling and surviving, I see what this meant.
I can tell you, they are beautiful to the child we are holding. That bald head we hate is beautiful to the husband who is listening to us sleep peacefully beside him. The ten pounds we gained during chemo is beautiful to the wife who can hold our hand while we walk together.
Our battle scars command respect and admiration because they are a measurable proof of our tenacity. Every single day and every individual life is beautiful.
Cancer survivors, you all are the most beautiful people I have ever known because you refuse to let the ugliness of this disease rob you of your true beauty.
Look in the mirrors and see beauty.
True breathtaking beauty is what I see when I look into your face.
