Another sad Mother’s Day

May 13, 2019 by Barbara

The day is over. You made it through. The sadness will still linger in the days ahead. Maybe even for weeks. You are not a mother and Mother’s Day is a hard day. My Dad always said to me “One Day At a Time” and there is a lot of truth in that quote. It’s hard to not look into the future when you want something so strongly.

If you were to ask me what was the hardest part of having thyroid cancer, it would be, being told I had thyroid cancer.   Today I’m sharing some of that journey.

Welcome!


Hi Friend, Welcome to my corner of the online world, where I write to encourage and give hope. I believe everyone could use a dose of hope from time to time so whether you need hope for your marriage, your closet or anything in between, I hope you find some encouragement here.

Having been through some hard situations, I understand what it's like to live hopeless, depressed, angry and bitter. Until God rescued me in His Love and Grace. In Him, I found an Anchor to keep me safe and secure. My passion is to share how He has rescued me and give others encouragement, as He has for me.
