. . . before I slip into a dreamlike state and ride the waves of the music to wherever it wishes to take me . . .
For as long as our bodies are vulnerable to disease, battles such as mine will remain common, everyday occurrences. But it’s important to recognize that cancer has no face, nor is it bothered by our hopes and dreams; it is merely a heartless, soulless non-entity. Its entire existence, its entire meaning, is derived solely from what it takes from us. But in the end, it is only what the cancer reveals about us that as any lasting value. And that can never be taken away.
Sweet dreams . . .

Another sleepless night at the fire station. So I get up and check the blog, and am once again blown away by your words. I have learned more about my brother's beautiful soul in the last 4 months than I have in 48 years. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention. I truly admire your courage and clarity in these difficult days. I am proud to be your sister. Love to you always...
AMEN to what our sister said-I too have learned more, felt closer and appreciated your inner thoughts and workings more now than ever before. Unfortunately, it sometimes takes a crisis of some sort to bring family and friends closer. I too am proud of your courage and strength and love you more than I perhaps ever realized.
Paul,
Amen, you are so right character; values and attachment are honed during these treacherous times. Thank you for your transparency, honesty and openness. You are doing so much for us, as we are trying to figure out how to do something significant for you and in the end most of us are relegated to prayer.
Al
