Dear Marty,
If you want to protect Barb from the part of her that may be sick, you're
not loving that part of her. You are sad, crying, stamping your feet,
trying to throw a blanket over it---but all these things will not bring the
maybe sick part back to health. Only loving it will; part of loving it is
recognizing it, accepting it and getting good treatment.
I know; I tried for 20 years to make believe I couldn't have cancer, ignore
it, throw it away like I threw away my old pathology reports. All the while
I was scared that death lay around the next corner.
It was only when I accepted that I can influence my life but not control it,
that I became able to live. My fear has not certainly gone away, but it
does not control my life, the way it did.
Dear Marty, please don't cry so. Continue to ask why...is there a better
way...can she be made more comfortable on the chemo...
191 is not 91, but it is not 350. Love, hugs, prayers and Happy Father's
Day,
martha
