In the movie .•´*¨`*• ♡¸.• •❥ A Shine of Rainbow .•´*¨`*• ♡¸.• •❥ the characters prove their is a shine of rainbows in all of us. For Vashti Hardouin whom in January was diagnosed with a rare cancer called angiosarcoma. And on July 10 Vashti having her leg amputated while being an inspiration to all. Through her own words: “Some of you ask how? Through all I went through and all I’m going through …. my friends have seen me through it all 🙂 Yet The attitude I have through this inspires others.”
It’s not really something I can put into words and what I say can’t come close to the best description but here goes. Not all of you have followed my story from the beginning, but if you go all the way back to the beginning, in January, you may see that the amount of love that has been poured out on me has been limitless.
The generosity has been enough t…o save someone’s life literally. The support has been unconditional. YOU my friends are who/what, the reason you see joy in me through this storm, because you are seeing your own reflection. It has been your joy to love me as if I’m your own and that joy has been your reflection.
YOU have given a piece of your heart to someone who was dying in hopes of saving my life in one way or another. Maybe your way of giving was in hopes of putting a smile on my face. And in doing so you were part of a much more extravagant picture…you were part of saving someone’s life. I am in tears tonight overjoyed… with ALL that you have done for me. It’s truly above and beyond what I could ever ask for or imagine.
And REALLY what fills me with THE MOST JOY is the fact that through my suffering I changed some body’s life. Whether it has been one or 2000, that has always been my hearts desire…to TRULY HELP PEOPLE with their suffering, with their life, to truly make a difference.
If you know me, you know I hate when people suffer and if there was something I could do to end all suffering that would be my wish. I may not be able to end all suffering BUT if I can inspire, encourage or make someone’s life easier, if I knew how I would. And the cancer came into my life. Suffering came with it and those around me suffered wishing they could make the pain stop and the cancer go away.
And THROUGH ALL THIS, something else was happening…from what I’ve read and what I’ve been told. That people’s lives were being touched and changed and they still are today….I had no idea that the cancer that sprung on me in January was about to bring so much love into my life and in return be a reflection to each of you because YOU first poured that into me. This is what I believe life should look like.
This is part of why I believe we’re here…to be that to one another through tough times . To love unconditionally. THANK YOU #teamvashti for this. 🙂 Really this whole situation has been a miracle…. or a bunch of little miracles adding up to help out everyone in their own way. I am looking forward to LIFE. I’m looking forward to meeting each of you if we do. I am overjoyed that I have helped you, through this…it makes it all worth it. .•´*¨`*• ♡¸.• •❥ Vashti Hardouin .•´*¨`*• ♡¸.• •❥
My own thoughts are always that someone are worse off they we are. For Vashti she must remember that what she went through was life saving. In the last 9 years I witness three really close people in my Life’s endurance starting with my father’s final tear drop. And my Godmother’s last breath and a close first cousin and Golf Buddy struggles to live. Nothing can be harsher than that …. and for Vashti .•´*¨`*• ♡¸.• •❥ I send out my very appreciation for the second chance at life she maintains!!! .•´*¨`*• ♡¸.• •❥
Forgiveness is so vital to our health. We must forgive as we have been forgiven. It’s so much easier …. when we are encouraging others to forgive …. yet when we are placed in a situation and forgiveness is key, it’s not so easy but it is necessary. What’s most important is we preach what we practice! #checksandbalances. People will wrong us… all the days of our lives. Forgiveness is not a quality that we all possess, it’s an asset we must seek. ‘And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.’ (Ephesians 4:32 NKJV)
