Cancer affects all of us in different ways at some point in our lives, sometimes it's a thorn that develops on our rose, sometimes it's one that stings the stem of a loved one's rose, a disease that creeps around the bud until the life has been strangled from it. Some of us get a chance to fight it; others are forced to bloom before their time, but the rose is still beautiful, no matter how short the stem is cut. So know that each of life's blessings is a Kiss from your Rose - don't take a single second for granted.
