Just a Few Words

As you can see, I've changed the title of this blog from "Mom's Battle: Lung Cancer" to "Our Journey to Strength". While I think the previous title was relevant, I think this title is more appropriate. My aunt Leslie made a very good point about the word "battle" being a negative connotation. I couldn't help but agree with that. Together we came up with "Our Journey to Strength", I think it better suits my blog and the situation because during these times it's really something that affects all of us. Like Mom, we all need to stay positive and strong because she will pick up on the energy of those around her. A positive outlook can do nothing but help.
I also read that when a loved one is living with cancer, it is always better to use words like "we" and "us" rather than "you" this helps the person gain strength because they are reminded that they are not alone in this. My mom is definitely not alone, she has the most loving support team behind her. Just a few words can make all the difference in times like these.

If anyone would like to send Mom a special message, please feel free to leave comments below. It would definitely help her feel better, and she would love it. :)
