After having been in remission for some time, one of my neighbors is very ill with cancer. The ambulance has been to her house several times over the last month and she’s not doing too well at the moment. I can only imagine how terrible I would feel if a member of my family were suffering this way–but her husband always has a smile on his face. Whenever we speak about his wife and her condition, he chats in such a friendly manner. If I didn’t know what he is going through with his wife right now, I would never guess his situation. I know that he must suffer a great deal inside but he is showing the world a positive face.
