For Jared

Sometimes, when we become too fixated on one thing, life has a way of putting us back into focus.

This week, my brother starts chemotherapy. It's a sobering thought, but we're all feeling very positive and hopeful for him. He's strong, an inspiration to me. I'm thinking of him today.

Aw, Ren, that is so hard. I have two grandparents fighting cancer right now. Lost my aunt two years ago. Hang in there. It's never easy. Lots of prayers for you and your family.

He'll be in my prayers, too, as will you and the rest of your family.

Staying positive is a wonderful gift to Jared. It's always best to keep good health and a strong body in the forefront of your mind. It must be so helpful to Jared to have such strong support. Having lots of love behind you is half the battle.

Sending you good vibes and keeping you in my thoughts and prayers.xxx

Family trials definitely have a way of putting everything in perspective. That is sad news about your brother. I hope and pray that he will make a full recovery.
