I prayed a hundred times

You are a hero
a warrior
a champion
In the way that you’ve battled this disease.

you are a role model,
a fighter,
and a friend.
You are in our prayers,
our thoughts,
and our hopes.
We love you.

Before you were sick, you were strong.
When you were diagnosed, you were brave.
As you fought your illness, you were cheerful
when you won, you were graceful.
As you begin to heal, you are determined
Every moment of your life you are loved.
—
It has been a long road
of diagnoses and treatments
hospital beds and needles,
endless days, weeks, months
waiting for the news to change
and for the healing to begin.
Now that we are here,
it is time to celebrate,
and time for the hardest work to begin.
As you start your time
of therapy
and rest
of new promises
and life plans
I wish you love
and help
and hope
and love.
—
You were loved before your illness
and missed though you weren’t gone.
You were celebrated as you fought and won
against odds so many couldn’t beat.
You are admired as you work so hard
to return to your strong self.
You are my hero every day,
In my prayers each time I kneel,
and always in my thoughts
especially as you heal.
I love you now and forever.
