This morning as I was taking my son to school, I was listening to my favorite Christian radio station and thinking.. I was overcome with emotion and almost brought to tears. As I was driving I began to think about this road that I have been traveling thus far. As you know, about three weeks ago I was diagnosed with cancer and one week ago, I had surgery on my tongue to have the cancer removed. I know that somewhere in all of this, there is a reason for this happening. I got to thinking this morning, one of the things I have learned from all this, is how blessed I am. I am blessed in both a spiritual way as well as a secular way. Since the diagnosis and the surgery, I have never felt "alone". I have been getting E-mails, phone calls, text messages and so on. People have rallied around to help one of their brothers who was struck down and was in need. Then when I think the "newness" has worn off and everything is back to "normal" the feeling or being alone starts to set in.. Then out of the blue.. "Hey, Mike! Just wanted to see how you're doing today... if everything's going better for you this week. You've been in my thoughts and prayers..." Then I realize, nope.. I am never alone, I have people that truly care and understand.
This morning the song "Who am I" was playing in my head. I got to thinking about that and wondering "just who am I" that I should get all this attention? I am blessed to know that I have people that care about me, pulling for me and are praying for me. You guys rock my world. I appreciate and love all of you..
