I think I will call today’s entry the “Rallying Cry” You may be asking yourself what has this got to do with all I am going through. As I look back as some of the most discouraging parts of diagnosis, treatment and being sick and weak the one thing that comes to mind is the rallying point. You might be asking yourself what Dale is talking about.
Well when you are diagnosed and find out what is going on it is not the most exciting time in your life. But then again with friends when the rally starts you feel a strength that you never knew you had. This new strength does no come from pity but it come from the battle cry of friends who say. I will be there, let me know what is going on. How are you feeling you are not going to be going through this alone?
When everyone took an active part at work and wore arm bands wow this was an amazing feeling. The best way for me to share this is you have a group of military personnel. A small squad is off in the distance fighting and they get seriously hit. It could be hopeless but the rest of the platoon decides to rally and rescue the fallen squad. Then energy level increases for all those going to the rescue and those being rescued. It becomes all for one and one for all and a new commitment to unit and self grows out of a crisis and a new level of trust and binding friendship grows.
This is what I have felt the strength I have does not come from me myself and to know that I will live another day is a great blessing. This” Rallying Cry” from my friends and family has been all I need to keep going.
To all you good friends and those who truly understand thank you so much you are the greatest and I would like to mention names but there are so many of you from all walks of life. Thank you for the great lessons you have been teaching me.
