I love analogies. This particular morning, I realized I had stumbled upon one that was a little more personal than most.
Grateful
Their stories are unique, yet share one commonality: their lives were taken unexpectedly by a virus. It saddens me to think about how those stories may have ended, that they may have been alone in nursing homes or hospitals, without their loved ones by their side holding their hand or kissing their cheek.
Making Do!
Like duct tape, our Covid-19 lives may not look pretty, but for most of us, things could be worse.
This Is It?
I believe the universe was preparing me for something – the pivotal moment when the oncologist would tell us, many months later, that the cancer was back and had spread to other organs in my husband’s body.
Taking it to the Streets – A Love Story
If living with COVID-19 has taught us anything, it’s to be kind and care – especially with the broken and most vulnerable among us.
The Road We Choose
We are hopeful though, hopeful that we will find a way to drive down this road without all the obstacles and signposts that keep us distracted from the real issues at hand. It never ends, does it? It will go on forever and we will be lucky to have been a part of it; part of the road less travelled.
Loss
Perhaps over time I will be able to put this little ball of grief somewhere, store it in a grief drawer or bury it in my back yard with my phlox and roses and dahlias. Maybe there, the grief will lie in hope that it will grow into something, perhaps even into joy.
A Heart and Soul Christmas
Standing by your principles – even if it doesn’t work out – can still give your struggles meaning.
Go Ahead – Toot Your Own Horn
That fabulously awkward moment when you realize there’s more truth than fallacy in a statement of perceived self-growth.
What’s Next?
Knock on wood, so far there has not been a ‘what next’ in at least a month. So we are more than grateful for that. He saw his surgeon recently and he took an x-ray of my husband’s lungs – it was an all-clear. He saw his oncologist too and will not see him again until October.
