There was a time in my life when my father was diagnosed with kidney failure and he had to undergo dialysis. I remembered feeling very down when I found out about his condition. I had worked for years and finally saved up enough money to take him for a nice holiday abroad, only to receive the bad news. 3 years after the diagnosis, he passed on.

Reading your post, reminded me of that incident and yes, you are right. Life is fragile. We are indeed living on borrowed time. And we never know when we could be the one to meet our Maker.

I pray that you will be strong and courageous as you journey with your mom in her battle against cancer and be the pillar of strength that she needs. And may He grant you His peace as you learn to lean on Him.

These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In this world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world --- John 16:33
