My heart slows down again the pain reaches up to my throat, fear has a tight grip and tears are on the way. I go outside where I can breath alittle easier a breeze softly moves the trees the fresh air smells so good. Memories visit me of childhood days spent in the sun I can still hear the sweet laughter I feel more tears start to come but push them away I only want to enjoy this moment, enjoy the sunshine playing on my face. The pain recedes but I know it will be back again, it's been doing this all day. This may not be the end but my days are now filled with fear fear and memories. And Im valuing each moment. I only wish I could have let others know me better but I have less regrets to face than I would have thought. Im not giving in so easily I'll do all that I can to win this battle, for that's what it is. Me against my body. Im not giving in so easily breathe my lungs beat o heart! Keep pumping and pushing for me For I am not ready to go! W.W. |

a very strong write here Stephanie...I am praying for you if this is coming from your life, your experience... If you don't mind, I would like to print this and let my friend Jeff read it as he is in the hospital suffering terminal cancer |
