RE: Taking aim at cancer

I am sorry to hear that you are facing such a difficult time. Much is being asked of all of you, and unfortunately it will not always be possible to stay strong. Yet my personal experience is that it is also okay not to be strong for a while. You may, maybe even should, show your feelings. When my father had lung cancer, we soon got the news that it was incurable. What has stayed with me most from that time is "The feeling of being together". He was not alone in it, we were all in it. It felt like an express train running on and on, with the occasional pause for breath at a small station. Emotions that could calm down for a moment, for a moment before we rushed into a high peak or deep valley again. Until the train finally came to a standstill with the death of my father. In this time it was important to me to talk to each other, to just be there for each other ... sometimes in silence, sometimes in frustration, but always in love.

Thanks for your words of wisdom and for sharing a little of your own story. Cancer is a terrible thing and as we've both lost people to it we understand how brutal it can be. Like you say, togetherness is a good thing and we have plans in place to do that with Faith's mum. They are very close anyway, but we will spend more time together from here.

I appreciate you taking the time to read and comment. :)
