We have two choices. Give in. Or just keep fighting. I think it is pretty obvious which choice I have made. I find no fault in either, though. I would like to think that most people choose the latter, but understand that it is a deeply personal decision.
When I was diagnosed, I decided that I wanted to show my wife and children that we should be resilient. I hope to instill in them the virtue of not giving up when the cards are stacked against you. It is not easy ! I will not win every battle , but I just keep fighting.
I encourage everyone to just keep fighting. It doesn’t matter how you choose to do it. There is no wrong or right way. Sadly , there are some in our community who find it necessary to criticize how some fight because it doesn’t align with their agenda. Do not let this discourage you. Just keep fighting.
One day, each of our fights will come to an end. What matters is that you gave it hell.
My gloves are on…let’s keep it up.
