Two years have gone by since my life changed forever ad Lee was told she had cancer. I have been reminded a lot about cancer lately what with my mother having surgery to remove cancer in her left cheek and a dear friend in Manitoba dying from pancreatic cancer February 26.My mother is 88 and Sue was 59. Lee would have been 70 in April this year.
I count my blessings every day and continue to lead a full life.Last week I cleaned out Lee's cedar chest and found a great stack of sympathy cards people had given me. I read them all to Kathy and shed some tears. We had some great talks as we always do. I felt a lessening of the raw feelings I used to have and this is good.
It does become easier over time but it is the simplest things at the most surprising times that take me back to Lee's last 10 days. I am unsure how I came through it but I did.
So now I feel I can offer support to my friend Danielle who lost the love of her life. I know that raw feeling and it is something that we go through. It will ease over time....that I now know.
