An interesting week

This has been such an interesting week. It is exactly 7 days since we received the news which has turned our world upside down. In that week, there were so many family members and good friends to whom I needed to talk, who had been worrying and deserved to hear first hand what the news was.

So, hard as it was each time I needed to share the news, doing that has been a blessing. If I didn't know it before (and I did), I was reminded how lucky I am to have such a group with us as we move along this journey. Family and friends who love us, support us, pray for us, make phone calls for us, cook for us, cry with us, and just love us and share a moment or two with us, make us very lucky people.

My life partner shared a poem which had been sent to him. You may have seen it before, but I hadn't. I keep reading it, trying to internalize and believe it. Here it is.

What cancer cannot do

Cancer is so limited...

It cannot cripple love,

It cannot shatter hope,

It cannot corrode faith,

It cannot destroy peace,

It cannot kill friendship,

It cannot suppress memories,

It cannot silence courage,

It cannot invade the soul,

It cannot steal eternal life,

It cannot conquer the spirit.
