Wars are bloody, and fights are hateful. Whatever may be the reason, the mark of death and destruction that follows always leaves the souls of the participants a little worse for wear. No matter who wins in a war, everyone loses.

The stories, however, remain with us forever. The stories of how a pure-hearted soldier downed the evil king, or a faithful husband was killed by the enemy in cold blood remind us how much blood and sweat we have had to spend to attain peace.

Come forth our survivors and share the revels of wars with the warriors still walking the road to their peace. Tell them how you were injured, how you were thrown on the ground by life and how you resisted the swift hand of fate and got back up. Walking down the path to God everyone needs a little motivation. Be their motivation and make sure that the Love and Care that was so generously passed to you by God’s grace is passed onto another warrior of the path.

Tell them they are not alone so that they too can become survivors. Only by having faith in the humanity inside and around them can the Cancer patient return to the world that is waiting for them. Be their guiding force and hold their hand on the path of love.

If you are a cancer survivor and would like your story to be published for inspiring our patients, please fill this 30 sec form.

If you are willing to help cancer patients, join our volunteer club and practice generosity in your own way.

If this article helped you in any way, some claps and shares would mean a world to us.
