i owe it to the big C

By Marcy

“This may sound flippant, if not cruel, but looking back, I can say that if I could only guarantee survival, I would recommend cancer to everyone because of what it has done for Lydia and me.”

– Jim Paredes

Just like his, our whole family also suffered from cancer when my mom was diagnosed to have it. There was an extreme transformation from day 1 we learned about it.

But believe it or not, in some ways, the big C had some far-reaching positive effects in all of us.

10 good things we had a grasp through the big C.

Everyday is a miracle…Sing through the pain…Smile though your heart is aching, smile even though it’s breaking, you’ll see that life is still worthwhile, if you just smile…Though actions speak louder than words, it still pays to verbalize emotions… Live life to the hilt…Listen with your heart, not just with your ears…Be grateful for every blessing…Your family is the greatest gift ever…In the face of adversities, a family is really held closer. And they stand by their promise of never letting each other go…Everything comes with a reason only known to our Mighty Creator.

musings

By Marcy

it has been more than a year since i’ve given up my job. admittedly, i was so ambivalent at first. when i made my decision of resigning known to my friends, i’ve got a lot of questions along with some raised eyebrows. really, it was a tough decision to make.

just a few weeks ago, my husband told me that there was a opening for a teaching position in a British school here in bahrain. and he even suggested seeking for a yaya to take care of the kids so i could work. i entertained the thought. but after weighing all the pro’s and con’s, i’ve come to a decision of going on with my career of being a full-time mom. now, i can’t imagine anyone taking my place as their primary caregiver.

we’re planning to have a vacation this coming january. there’s no certainty yet whether i and the kids are going back here together with my husband. i’m considering the possibility of pursuing a master’s degree when we get home. hay, i hope i could find a school offering online education on master’s degree in special education. then, the case would be settled. we don’t have to be afar from each other anymore.
