June 2nd was Cancer Survivor Day!
Wishing a happy day to all it applies to. I know it's belated, however I feel (like with birthdays) it should be celebrated all month long!
My prayer is for a cure for all types of cancer and I proudly have the lavender colored ribbon pin which symbolizes awareness for all types of cancer. The survivors and warriors have my support and positive thoughts.

That's a great day to celebrate, for sure! If I prayed I would for that too.....so instead I send best wishes that they do find a cure for all types!

@MommyOfEli2013 I think so - I know there are differing schools of thought on that, but I think..... can't hurt :-)

@FayeHazel I thought they were a good thing too, just didn't know if they worked for everything!

We have seen so many lose the battle to this horrible disease. Like you, I feel it should be celebrated all month long. Those who have struggled with this demon are warriors. I know a beautiful mother/grandmother/servant of God who is now going through her second battle. I am praying for her and her family. She is a survivor.

Cancer is not only survived and battled by the patient but by his loved ones too. So prayers for them too who stand as a pillar of support for their loved ones.

Such a horrible and scary disease. Those who are survivors are truly blessed and I'm sure extremely grateful.
