one thing I learned with papa's cancer was that life
would still go on....but not the same
we took papa's cancer and normalized it
we created a whole new way of living each day
we had moments when we pretended that things were the same
as they always had been before the cancer came
but the cancer became just a normal way of life
other people seemed more intimidated by it than we were
we danced with out music pouring our love into each other
and when he died the dance stopped
now there is only me to hear the songs
that we listened too
and now I hear the silence
and the laughter is missing
and I feel the dull ache of loneliness
but I have learned that
it is ok -not to be ok-
and that I will heal......
the sun will come out again
the rainbow will shine after the rain
and in the quiet I will renew my connections
of inspiration, and my enthusiasm and the
silence will become golden=
and I will dance again
huggles me, Meme

Still praying you through your days. hang in there -- you matter to us.
Beautiful piece of writing. Emotions get in the way of life sometimes, don't they? Thinking of you and sending blessings for your weekend.

May you dance again.... and be happy again and may the sweet memories of days past help fill the emptiness you are feeling now.
My thoughts are with you, Love, Lura
Hi Meme..
((((Hugz))). What a beauitful writing of precious and cherished memories. As I read I see that the dancing continues in your heart where you're memories are forever stored till you see each other face to face where your dance will be an eternal one. Thinking of you and praying that your time of memories will bring comfort and joy to you today and always.

Dear Meme,
How are you today? I am thinking of you. I know that the holidays must be hard for you. You are in my prayers.
Drop by my blog and pick up an award I have for you. You touch my life and I am honored to pass on this award to you that says so.
How beautiful! As someone who is going to die and leave loved ones behind this brought me to tears. I try to remember that this journey is not mine to take alone. In fact, I began blogging to leave a memory for my darling little Great Niece, Darien, in case I go before she's old enough to remember me. Thanks so much for sharing your journey!
I've been thinking about you and praying for you these past few days, and I'm so glad I stopped by! Your heart is so beautiful and I'm so grateful to you for sharing with us all. Love you!!!! Cora
