Surviving a traumatic event is well, surviving. There's not too much choice involved. It's what you do with your life post-survival that matters.PJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08895652549080926672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4179516101180622376.post-70245932644545204772008-09-17T17:18:00.000-07:002008-09-17T17:18:00.000-07:00Dear Ronni, A hero is a person who, in the opinion...Dear Ronni, <BR/><BR/>A hero is a person who, in the opinion of others, has distinguished him or herself with brave deeds and noble qualities and is regarded as a model or ideal.<BR/><BR/>When ordinary folks face extraordinary circumstances and strive to survive as well as possible, they become heros. <BR/><BR/>I've met a lot of amazing people - heroes - over the almost-18 years of my survivorship. Most of them have not won Tours de France or written books or founded national organizations, yet they are heros to em. <BR/><BR/>I've only "met" you recently, when I was referred to your blog. But within minutes of reading about you and reading what you had to say, I included you in that group.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for sharing and encouraging others with your words.<BR/><BR/>with hope, WendyWendy S.

I have gone on record that, if cancer just so happens to take my life, the obit will NOT say that I lost a "courageous battle."<BR/><BR/>I wrote about this in more depth last year on my blog.<BR/>http://cancerbanter.blogspot.com/2007/05/loved-ones-recall-local-mans-cowardly.htmlSusan Chttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12178330935523896363noreply@blogger.com
