Why I write.

Another happy moment!

I don't know what makes me write about the bits & pieces of my journey with my dear husband & our 6 kids. I seldom see friends & people I know do this. Some caring persons say, I am like an open book. Well, maybe because I have nothing to hide. I was born poor, struggled with studies, graduated, fell in love, started working, got married, had miracle kids, got cancer, still alive after all these decades. The bottomline is: I have a lot of stories to tell, because God allows me to still breathe. Oh! Indeed, I love this life!

@hereandthere Oh, I like to get interrupted while I am in the mid of what am saying. It shows you are interested in what I am into.

@Janet357 Indeed. It's malignant. I was told in 2000 that if I don't seek cure, it will be a "goodbye world" in 10 years. I did seek cure, so here I am! Praise God!

I'm sure you have lots of stories to tell and I think most of us do but we sometimes think they are not that good of a story but maybe we all lived it so that is why we don't think it is such a big deal.

I write to share what I believe in will be worth telling anyone. I just don't write about a flower & its leaves. I write about how it makes lonely people smile.

@KnehKnah Everyone on here write for their own reasons and what they want to write about so it's not wrong no matter what they write someone might find it interesting.

You have a wonderful picture and a great attitude. When I first started writing here, it was because I felt that people were helped by what I said. Now it is more social, but I surely love the friends I have made through here. It is awesome.

Thank you. But I am not yet as healthy as how I pray for. My cancer only "sleeps". When it "wakes up", it's time to repeat that cyclical thing: seeing a Doc, seeking treatment, confined in a hospital again, losing breath, "dying" again, breathing once more. Alive! Yehey!
