My heart is a little heavy today as I heard the news in regards to Toby Keith’s passing. I will admit it brought a tear to my eyes and a somewhat attached surreal feeling considering my own cancer journey.
I would think all of us who have been or are currently on this journey completely respect the manner in which Toby Keith handled his journey. His grace, strength, mental toughness, and just basic human kindness will accompany me as I contnue my journey.
Like Ernie Johnson…TobyKeith is/was someone I’ve looked up to for an example of how to deal with the journey and hopefully be and become a better human every day of the journey.
Toby was an avid OU sports fan and donor. He supported many causes including the fight against cancer for children…which I greatly admire. That’s one of the things which always pulls at my heart when I’m at the Integris Cancer Center. That being, how unfair it is children and their familes have to deal with this horrible disease.
It’s not fair, but it is what is.
Me? I’ve had a great life. I’m sixty-six years of age and truly feel as if I’ve already been blessed to the max regardless of when this journey for me continues at the next level. In fact….I can’t recall ever feeling better both spiritually and physically.
You literally take one day at a time and live it to the fullest. That’s the mantra.
I’ll be in Norman tonight for the OU mens game versus BYU. I’m sure there will be a moment of prayer for Toby Keith.
God bless you, Toby Keith.
I didn’t mean to double click the video. My bad.
