She Will Prevail Persevere \pər-sə-vir\ (vb): to persist (as in an undertaking) in spite of difficulties. Nowadays it seems that cancer, in one way or another, affects everyone around us. Whether it is one’s mother, brother, aunt, grandfather or baby sister, cancer plays a major part in the daily lives of people around the world. For many forms of cancer, being diagnosed can be comparable to receiving a death sentence. Those who are able to muster up the strength to battle through this terrible disease in such difficult times deserve significant commendation. As a child, my Nona, Helen, was an incredibly strong influence in my life. She was perfect in my eyes, living life exactly how she had always dreamed- a silver-haired beauty running her own shop, travelling around the world, supporting herself and constantly enjoying the company of her grandchildren. Making new friends was no challenge for her. Each time she returned from a trip, whether it was touring around India or a craft convention in San Diego, we would hear about new people she had met, all of them, “lovely, interesting individuals”. It was the rarest of occasions when a person would hear her making a negative comment about someone.
