To My Brave and Beautiful Warriors,

There are no words strong enough to fully express my admiration for you. I have watched you step onto the battlefield of cancer—facing fear, pain, and uncertainty—with a courage that leaves me in awe. You are warriors, contending with the unknown, enduring detours you never asked for, and pressing on when the weight of it all feels unbearable.

I see your strength—not just in the moments of resilience, but in the raw honesty of your journey. I see it when you wrestle with questions no one should have to ask, when you hold on to hope even in the darkest valleys, and when you pour love into those around you despite the weariness you carry. Your battle is fierce, and yet, so is your spirit.

And in all of it, I see something even greater—I see you clinging to the hope of our Savior, the One who is intimately present with you in every moment of this journey. He sees your pain, He knows your fears, and He is holding you closer than you can imagine. The suffering of this life is not the end of your story. Because of Him, you have the unshakable promise of an eternity where sickness, pain, and sorrow will be no more. A day is coming when you will stand fully restored, completely healed, and embraced in the unfailing love of the One who has walked with you through it all.

Your lives have marked mine in ways I will never forget. Your steadfastness in trial, your devotion to the people you love, and your acknowledgment of the true source of your comfort have been a testimony that speaks louder than words. You are teaching me what it means to be a fierce woman—one who fights with faith, who loves without limits, and who refuses to let even the hardest battles shake the foundation of her hope.

Whether you are still fighting, in remission, or bearing the scars of this battle, I honor you. You inspire me. And I stand with you, always.

With deep love and admiration,
Debbie
