June 30 - Why Fight

Just to be clear, I understand a bit of why people fight cancer. I get that the struggle can be worth it.

For the sound of a belly laugh from a child you love.

For the beauty of a pastel sunset over the lake.

For the soft kiss of your lover on your lips.

For the rich taste of freshly ground coffee or smooth dark chocolate.

For the fragrance of your favorite flower.

For the embrace of a tried and true friend.

For the eye-crinkling smile of a stranger.

For the challenge of learning something new.

For the satisfaction of vanquishing monsters.

Even if it's just for one more day.
