What She Said http://what-she-said.net Incoherent Ramblings of an Old(ish) Woman with a Dell Fri, 11 Dec 2009 02:16:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.4 en hourly 1 Curve Ball http://what-she-said.net/?p=233 http://what-she-said.net/?p=233#comments Fri, 11 Dec 2009 01:52:09 +0000 Kit http://what-she-said.net/?p=233 Sometimes life throws you a curve ball that you couldn’t in your wildest dreams have imagined. I was thrown one of those bitches this week. I willingly involved myself in and contributed to vicious gossip that hurt the most precious people in my life.

Why did I do this? Beats the fuck out of me. And, believe it or not, in the midst of stirring the pot, I honestly believed I was watching out for my loved ones.

WRONG!

There is a line….a line so thin….so innocent looking…that can be crossed without even lifting a foot. A line so quiet in its maliciousness whose whisper is almost silent…….almost silent…..almost.

Almost…there it is…that almost silent whisper telling me the difference between caring and gossiping…between right and wrong. Yes, I heard it and I ignored it. Why? Who the hell knows. But trust me when I tell you, I will know that nasty whisper from this point forward. It will never again cause pain like it has this week.

God will help us repair the broken bridges; but it’s important that we take responbility for our actions.

I do….and I’m sorry….and if you’re reading this….know that I love you…beyond the beyond the beyond and the beyond….

And if you’re reading this for no other reason than to be reading it, thank you. But more important, hold those you love close and never, ever let your words become bullets.

During my early days of trying to understand the logistics, I ran across the Twitter account of Drew Olanoff, a young man with cancer.

I followed and watched as Drew expressed his pain and anger at this impartial disease. And I watched as he fought back…as he made it clear, he was not giving up or giving in…as he used his Twitter name (@drew) to draw attention and money to his fight…as he became stronger and stronger and won. Yes….he won…and only he can tell us the depths of hell he went through to defeat this nasty, ghastly disease.

And today is his 30th birthday. He could have given in….he could have slipped away….we could have never known the courage he has….and we would have never been able to say “Thank You”.

Dearest Drew,

Thank you….from the bottom of our hearts….for helping all of us understand that a cancer diagnosis should not be a death sentence or something we’re ashamed of, but should be met head on with the determination that it will not control nor take one minute away from our lives.

Thank you for being brave enough to publicly discuss your cancer. More people than you can imagine have benefitted from your willingness to share your dark secrets.

Happy Birthday, Drew. No person in the world deserves this birthday more than you.

Blessing and love,

Kit White
