About the Rose Day
There are many reasons
why people celebrate World Rose Day every year on September 22nd, from bringing
sheer joy to people's lives to reminding patients that they are not alone in
their battle. Cancer patients who are battling the disease are commemorated on
this special day. People with this disease are often emotionally exhausted
since they need a lot of courage and positivity to stay strong. Fighting cancer
can be a long and arduous fight. Besides the physiological consequences, cancer
also causes psychological stress, anxiety, and anguish. In the face of
emotional exhaustion, even those who support sufferers require courage and
motivation to stay positive during difficult times. Therefore, this day is
meant to bring joy and hope to these patients, and to remind them that they
will win the fight against cancer if they remain determined and positive.
Is it celebrated in
the memory of someone?
On this day, the world
remembers twelve-year-old Melinda Rose who died of a rare type of blood cancer,
Askin’s Tumor, at the age of twelve. The doctors told Melinda that she
(Melinda) would only live for a few weeks after having been diagnosed with Askin’s
tumor, but because of her undying spirit and hope, she surprisingly lived for
six months. During her brief existence, Melinda spent her time talking to other
cancer patients and sharing letters, verses, email, and poems with them. With
her selfless care, she left a mark of kindness, and affection on the heart of
the people around her.
How people celebrate
World Rose Day?
After Melinda’s demise in
1996, as a mark of respect and love, people continue to follow her and send
roses to cancer patients and caregivers as a way of letting them know of their
love and support. Also, it's a testament to the hard journey they made. Often,
people give thoughtful gifts and cards to patients. In addition, survivors and
healthcare facilities organize special awareness campaigns.
Should we all
celebrate this day?
Yes, of course. All
religions teach to serve humanity and bringing laughter and smile on someone’s face
who is fighting many battles inside is indeed a highest virtue.
