December Strength

From early December: I was at that place again where you have nothing else to do then to think, unless you're sleeping. Once in the beginning of this, I was placed in a room with a 7 years old girl. She had severe lung cancer. That wasn't all she had, and the diagnosis the doctors gave her was not good. She would most likely die before Christmas. It didn't look as if she would make it since her body would not except any donor found so far. However she and her family was not devastated. They saw hope where others would have given in to disappear. When everyone had gone and only she and I remained, she told me that she didn't fare death. She merely saw it as a possible road. She said she loved her family and that she knew they loved her back, and that they'd do everything they could for her. And if she died despite that, at least she would know they'd tried. I was amassed. She was so strong, and I, several years older then her, was scared and worrying about how this would affect those I held dearest and I was longing to experience all that which I had yet to experience. She taught me how she was so calm. Her strength came from that her family, she said. Well I have never relied on family, but at that time it felt like i had a family. Only a few people as ever meant that much to me that although they weren't my family it felt like they were. She thought me how to be strong about this. Cause even in the worst case scenario, strength is what's decides if you win or not. Even if defeat is the scenario you can still go out in victory. Wonder what became of this wise girl. Is these days her last, or did they find her cure? Light a candle for her, lets hope her strength won through. Cheers! This is for you.
