A Timeless Love

by Shanel

I’m going to beat this, and then everybody is going to see how foolish they were to be worried.”

“I don’t wanna die, you know? I don’t wanna leave my parents. I don’t wanna leave you, but I don’t know how to fight this. I’m so damn scared.”

“You know what I’m going through, and I want it to be clear that I won’t always have good days. I’m anticipating some real bad days coming up, and if it ever becomes too much for you, then you have to tell me. I won’t let you suffer with me. If you need to walk away, then do that, Abigail. Do not tie yourself to my cancer. It’s my battle, do you understand?”

“God, it’s me again. You see where we are right now, right? I need You to show up and do what You do.

“Kendrick, stop. Stop it. You think God would bring you this far to leave you? Are you kidding me right now?

Don’t forget to smile every now and then, and when you laugh, laugh from your gut. Make it count.

Love was a tricky thing. It was the one thing that we all spent our entire lives searching for, never knowing where it will come from, and when it will be gone. Even with all the unknowns, nothing deters us from wanting it for ourselves.
