Grateful for cancer?
Yes.
Grateful for addiction?
Absolutely.
Grateful for heartache, 
unfulfilled dreams, 
and broken relationships?
Without a doubt. 

Within cancer was trust.
Within addiction, surrender.
Within heartache, 
unfulfilled dreams, 
and broken relationships 
was hope in the unseen - 
so that now
the unseen
is 
known 
felt
experienced
and
praised.

How else could you treat 
a Friend like that?
