Dear Christine,
I had you on my mind this weekend, and today. First, because I reflected on the meaning I've found in relating to some interesting people on your thread--a thread where such relation is encouraged--and a thread that was begun by YOU. I thank you for beginning and maintaining it.
Secondly, I thought about you today because cancer has been such a constant in my life. I told some friends recently that my life has been divided into the cancer "on-season" and the cancer "off-season"--each demarcated by those occasions when my mother (or loved one) was, or was not, afflicted.
I am grateful your tests came back negative. I'm also sure you experienced an existential "moment" which attended your "not knowing" phase. These are powerful moments which invite us to inventory ourselves, our philosophies,and as importantly, invite us to be grateful for all we have: our health, our lives, our children, our loved ones . . .Did you have any revelations?
You are on my mind.
With love,
Rick
