“It has given me a chance to absorb the worst and not allow myself to be a victim of my illness. It has taught me that even though there is a fighter inside me its all right sometimes to be less self-sufficient to appreciate a friends help for something as small as buttoning a shirt cuff”
Most of all it has made me more conscious of Allah’s bounties and blessings which we take for granted. SubhanAll’ah.
