BRAVE

When I received my cancer diagnosis, I knew I had to dive deep into my faith, and I did. What I didn't realize was how brave I was going to have to be. I received a wonderful gift right before my cancer surgery, "Brave Lion." Brave was with me after surgery, and she was a welcome addition to my strong team, doctors, family, and prayer warriors. Brave has become the support for my back when I sit up, the pillow for my stomach to soften coughs, and my comfort when I feel lonely and weak. My family has all needed some help while navigating my cancer, so I share Brave. She has spent over-nights with Hugo and has met his friends; Brave has received lipstick kisses from Mavis and lots of hugs from family. Extra help is a good thing, and I find my help and comfort in my love for Jesus, my people, and Brave Lion.
