I don't usually read the newspaper on a regular basis, so I am not up on all the serial comic strips. But the past couple of days my husband has been showing me the Funky Winkerbean strip. It is the saddest ever. Lisa is dying of cancer. It is a comic strip that is not funny, but incredibly real and so sad that it makes me sob.
Lisa is dealing with a recurrence of breast cancer and is losing her battle.
Check it out
Go to Lisa's Legacy Fund and check out the blog, a very heart felt view about using the comics to support cancer patients and to help fund research.
Well done.
Riding to work on Wednesday morning I was noticing how beautiful the leaves looked. The peak of the season is upon us and it is a glorious sight. I then remembered the Winkerbean comic from yesterday and that in the strip Lisa had gone blind and was asking if the leaves were changing colors. I started to cry. It reminded me that we can never ever take today or any day for granted. I know that. I have learned that lesson many, many, times over the years. So once again I remember and take the time to appreciate the things that seem little, but in reality are very big when they are taken away from us.
