Recently I gathered my courage and began to read Audrey’s blog – the journey. DCW has been following it for some time and I knew by his occasional comment at the kitchen table that it was exceptional. It is about living with cancer.
Audrey’s post today “Gently sailing” resonated deeply - a balance between hope and reason, the momentous and the minor. It reminded me of when a typical day with my sister Carol Anne, who had cancer, required me to reach inward and grasp whatever courage and strength I could muster to navigate the distance between chemo or radiation or whatever the day's outing and sharing a cup of tea or watching a demonstration of her newest computer game or having a laugh or cry at the craziness of it all. I learned a lot about living from her and, I believe, the lesson that has served me best is to strive for balance.
I had not known until recently that Carol Anne feared she would be forgotten. Silly girl ~Sail away by David Gray
