It's cancer.

I start chemo the week of the 8th. I am not sure of my feelings right now other than this is a big huge inconvenience. I am grateful that I can wait to start treatment so that I can be there for Mason and Nolan's first day of school. I am grateful that it gave me five months off and that I did so much in those months. I am grateful to live here with great care, great insurance, and a great support network, but I am still sad that I have to put everyone through it. Big sigh, Ang

I can see you in my mind's eye. You are sitting peacefully on a large rock. Your eyes are closed, your face is calm and you breathe in the warm mist created as the spring water meets the crisp night air. You are bathed in stillness. Serenity abounds.

May the felt-sense of this memory (that we both share) help you clear a space...a space to be fully present.

When you are ready you will know what you feel. Give yourself time. The rest of us will wait for you.

I am holding you close, my friend. In my heart and in my thoughts.

Looks like I am going to have to bust out the super ninja powered white light and send it your way..... seriously.
I can only tell you if I had one wish I would use it to destroy cancer. I will start cooking, and if you want to watch some silly comedy sometime, I am your chick!
Angie, you are the strongest woman I know. If you need help staying that way there are so many of us around you you can lean on.
