Achingly beautiful, dear Amy. You transported me back to the chemo lounger, a place neither of us ever wanted to go back to. Yet your focus wasn’t on the chair but the humanity around it, the life-giving possibilities of this death-defying stunt called chemotherapy. Thank you from all of us who may face the same return journey someday. With love and prayers, Cory
I agree with Cori, and it leaves me both speechless and in awe of the good, the beautiful, and the true. And I am thankful. Thankful for you. Thankful for a glimpse of how to live. And thankful to be among the hundreds on Wednesday morning.
Wednesday is also Yom Kippur. One of the prayers that day is the prayer for healing, for which there is a lovely modern melody. We sing it and call out the names of those for whom we seek its blessings. Thinking of you, now and then. https://youtu.be/9WgRJAq4xGs
On Wednesday I’ll close my eyes and think of you and pray for you with as much faith as I can muster- for grace and peace to surround you and be strong within you. kgb
Somehow I missed this postcard, Amy, from 6+ weeks ago. It's hard to find words -- or at least to string them together in the midst of a swirl of emotions -- after taking in your words/reflections. Beauty, strength, hope, gratitude, awe... are some that come to mind. I'm saying a prayer for you and yours now and praying for Foxy to do the job with the least amount of side affects possible. Sending lots of love.
How is this much beauty possible in an essay about this? You are miraculous, my friend. I’ll be praying.
Thinking of you Amy, I always remind myself of your unique perspective on chemo. Since you told me, I’ve never called it poison.
What a way with words you have. Praying and rooting for you.
