I could barely walk, couldn’t drive, and so took the bus to work. By mid-morning I was in an orthopedic clinic getting an x-ray. After waiting what felt like hours, I went to the door to hear the doctor say, “I have a man with a broken back and I need a…”, he turned saw me standing, rushed to my side and gently laid me back down on the examining table and I didn’t walk again for over a year. Words that change our lives, “Billy your mom is dying”, “Bill your dad just died”, “Mr. Baun, you have aggressive prostate cancer”, “I love you!”, and “you have progressive metastatic cancer in the pelvic lymph nodes”. Words might change our journey, but they don’t have to change who we are or who we become. How will you choose to react to life today?
