Unravel Cancer: Experiences with family battling cancer

04 August 2009

22:09 7 haiku

(Written this evening while waiting for a meeting to start)

Beautiful night
Lonely hospital side street
Farmer's market peach

Easy peel peaches
Ripen my lips, tongue, and cheeks
Summer stone fruit rocks!

Crankiness abates
Body fatigue still plagues me
Ripe peach revives soul

On to tastey plum
Mushy from bag carrying
Will eat anyway

Missing my sponsor
Slowly re-entering steps
Hope we reconcile

Can't wait to post blog
Many new stories to share
But must pay bills too

(This one I just wrote)
Done too much today.
One last call, avocado
YUM-wich makes all good!

(Ok - just one more)
Met neighbors tonight.
Where do you live? Down the street...
Ha, ha; hee, hee; bye!

(Last one - to make a lucky uneven number)
Played lotto today;
"seven" calf tattoo was the
omen. Wish me luck!

I'm a 30-something professional woman who's mother & brother were both diagnosed with Grade 3 Astrocytoma tumors within about a week of each other. My mother's tumor is in her brain, and my brother's tumor is in his spinal cord, causing him to lose feeling in his arms & legs. These writings are about my experiences dealing with them, coping, loving them, loving myself, and living my life knowing that they are both dying. I hope you find inspiration and courage from my writings to help you get through whatever is going on in your life.
