All of us have those days, those days where "we don't want to talk about it". Those days when none of our bucket is full. Those days where there is no point in life. And you wonder " how do I get through these times"? Here's how: ( this is a short story about how to have hope and courage)
"Good morning sweetheart, how are you feeling?" When I looked in my mother's eyes, I could tell that this was to be my last day. My name is Anna Gordian and I am 9 years old. I have cancer. My life, ever sense I was just seven years old, has been awful. Every week, another doctor, another day, my last breathes. As the snow falls on this cold January day, I am sad, because this is my last day. Or at least I think so. I have heard that I should live life to the fullest and enjoy my passions. But, my passions aren't my passions anymore, they are ghosts of my formal self. Ghosts of the good. Ghosts of me. " I guess that I am doing OK". The nurse walks in. "Hi Anna, someone is here to see you." A lean, colored man comes in to my room and sits on my bed. He holds my hand. He is warm and I suddenly feel a light in my body strike on and light. He told me the greatest advice of my life, he said: "hi Anna, I know what you are going through. I need you to stay strong and listen to me. You, have cancer, someday, you will die. But you know what, today isn't that day, you know why, because I have faith. Not just faith, I have faith, in you. If you believe someone with great power will help you. And that person is God, he will save you from evil and bring you to light. He will protect you, care for you, and love you. But he can't do it alone. You have to believe and have courage. I know it is scary thinking that you won't be here someday, but if you truly are loyal to him. He will make it so that the rest of your life is amazing. Now I am sure that you have heard this before but , live your life to the fullest. Take risks, and most importantly. Never lose hope." I woke up, hot and sweaty. "It was all a dream". I said to myself,"all a dream." Now I am 20 years old and perfectly healthy, because I had hope.
