I never knew anyone who had breast cancer personally but..

I understand that for me to care I don't need to have it myself or lose a loved to it, because I know that as I write this; a mother, a daughter, a grand-daughter, or a grandmother, is fighting it right this moment, that some families have repeatedly lost loved ones to it, that a 16 year old in as much danger of dying from it as a much older woman.

Knowing who you are, or not does not mean that right now, I'm not thinking of you, whoever you are, you should know that right now I'm praying for you, for your family and your loved ones.

I do not know you, but your stories of triumph, heart-break, lose, and joy, they all mean the world to me. They all give me such hope, and courage.

I now know, that if I ever had to face it down, for myself, for a family member, or for a friend, I know I won't be scared, but really what matters most knowing that I won't be alone.

I do not know you, but I both admire and love you.

Stay strong, you are never alone.
All my love,
Habiba
