1938-2004
Here is what cancer cannot do:
It cannot cripple love;
It cannot shatter hope;
It cannot corrode faith;
It cannot destroy peace;
It cannot kill friendship;
It cannot suppress memories;
It cannot silence courage;
It cannot invade the soul;
It cannot steal eternal life;
It cannot conquer the Spirit.
Cancer may rob you of the blissful ignorance that once led you to believe that tomorrow stretched forever...
In exchange, you are granted the vision to see today as a precious gift to be used wisely and richly.
-- Lisabeth Ashicku 1986
