Heart-breaking

Posted July 30, 2009 by survivormom | comments

I received a heart-breaking news from my kumare (my daughter’s godmother) that she has breast cancer. We communicate through online chat because she’s in London now, four years ago she and her family migrated in London. We rarely communicate because of time difference so when we had the chance to talk the other day that’s the only time I found out that she’s battling against this cancer since last year. She told me about her hardships, the surgeries and chemotherapy treatments she faced and still facing. At first when I saw her on cam I thought her quick weight loss was because of diet pills, but later on I’ve learned that it was due to her sickness. But she’s a strong woman, inspite of her sickness she still manage to take care of her family and their business.

I really hope and pray that her cancer will soon be cured and gone forever. God have mercy..

Fireproof

by survivormom | comments

One month ago I wrote about how God helped me overcome another storm in our married life. By his love and grace I was able to forgive my husband. I’m thankful that God always have something for me, it’s always at that right time. During the time that I almost gave up on our marriage a radio program aanounces they will be having a seminar and film showing for married couples. I decided to ask my husband to join me, he didn’t like it but I insisted so with a heavy heart he accompanied me.

We watched the film entitled Fireproof, a love story about a firefighter and his wife. The wife, Catherine thinks that divorce is the only answer for them since his husband Caleb a fire chief, can save everything but their marriage. But thru Caleb’s parents help and a challenge from a book called “The Love Dare” brought Caleb to his knees. Caleb valiantly fights to reignite the flame of passion  to win back Catherine and restore their marriage. It was heart-warming, a very good movie.

Aside from the movie, we we’re inspired by the speaker’s message, it was an eye-opening. I’m thankful God  lead us to attend that seminar because if not, our married life could be in misery right now.
