This ribbon is a warriors shield. It declares that we are praying for a cure. It is in remembrance of all those who walked this road before us. It is a visual reminder of our love and prompts us to pray without ceasing. Soon, it will be a badge over the hearts of conquerors.
My mom has been diagnosed with Chronic Myeloid Leukemia. We live 6 hours from her, another sister lives 6 hours from her in another direction. We both wish we could be there right beside her. This disease is treatable and we will all fight, each in our own special ways. I pray we all come out of this closer and with a greater appreciation for each other.
Mama has her first appointment in about an hour. They called her on Friday with her diagnosis but gave her no other information. Today is the day that we will find out exactly what we are fighting and what our weapons are. Mama's a wreck (and I do believe all 5 of her kids may be as well). It's the moment of truth. When it most certainly will become more real. I pray the treatments don't make her really sick. Whatever it takes to stop this cancer.
CML is the opponent. God is in our corner. Who can stand against Him? NO ONE! It's time for a KO!
