It's in the way we gather strength from the fragments of disappointment, in the way we seek new paths when old ones close, and in the way we continue to believe in brighter days despite the challenges. Hope is not always easy to find when treatments fail. But we do, always. Save this reminder for the times when the darkness threatens to overshadow everything.
