And I was not afraid of death, but I am afraid of being left behind when other people die. However, I also see that people can look to me as a survivor, and it can help them remain hopeful. That, and the knowledge we have accrued during treatment, is the gift that we can give as survivors.MariaBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15107598921522194970noreply@blogger.com
