Day 117

Rememberance Day - I am dedicating my blog today in the memory of all those brave men and women who have fought and lost their lives, for their belief that they are fighting to make this world a better place for people like me to live in. I watched the film 'Sunshine' in April, before I was diagnosed with cancer. It is a film about a crew of men and women who are sent into space to reignite our dying sun. I did not really get it at the time. I watched it again last weekend and it blew me away. It is about the strength of the human spirit, the need to ensure that the world that we live in survives and is a safe place for our children to grow up in. Although I am fighting my own personal fight with this illness, I do not feel brave, although I have been called brave. I feel lucky. I have discovered how incredible the human spirit can be, how strong we are and how utterly breathtaking the world is that we live in. I only wish that we could all live in harmony, so that no more lives have to be lost in the name of war. I will never forget.
