Margot is hilarious! She always finds the funniest things to say or do that make me laugh. Her positive outlook on life is infectious. She's not only a very special friend of mine, she's also my sister in Christ. We share a special bond for which I am truly grateful.
Steve is very soft spoken and gentle. He is a profound thinker and when he speaks, he chooses his words carefully. His British accent gives a wonderful charm to his comments and he can make anything sound interesting!
Before Margot and Steve arrived, I worried that they may ask me questions about the Cancer and the upcoming surgery. I was so emotional and I was really hoping not to have to face a barage of questions. Thankfully, they never asked one question unless I opened the door first.
Margot and Steve are true friends. They are friends who have managed to look past the horror of a Cancer diagnosis. Yes, they clearly understood I was going through a difficult time and didn't really feel up to chatting. They never made me feel like I needed to answer endless questions. They didn't make me feel like I had to put on a face of happiness to hide how I really felt inside. They had come simply because they truly loved and cared about me. When they left, I felt very encouraged.
I am so thankful for true friends...friends who can love me even when I'm not lovely. Without friends, the valley of Cancer would be a very lonely place to be. I'm so thankful that God created the gift of friendship so we can enjoy being in each others presence.
