“Just a gentle reminder that you never know what someone else is going through.”
This is my car, and I am legally allowed to park in handicap spaces because of cancer treatment and extreme exhaustion. Just because you cannot see an illness does not mean it isn’t real.
I had a grade 2 ependymoma tumor on my brain stem. It was surgically removed on July 28, and I began radiation treatment five weeks ago. I now have only about a week and a half of treatment left, and thankfully, my most recent scan came back with good news.
I still have a small speech problem, but it is slowly improving. Even though I may look fine walking from my car into a building, that does not mean I am not fighting cancer or dealing with the effects of radiation every day.
I am not asking for sympathy. I am simply asking for understanding. Everyone is carrying something, even when you can’t see it. Please be kind to others. Try to make people smile instead of hurting them.
I choose to love the person who upset me and pray for them. I hope whatever pain is in their heart is replaced with love and happiness.
