Seeing our friend and neighbor yesterday was poignant. She was having a birthday celebration, and also celebrating her success with cancer treatment. Success means giving her more time, not a cure. She was warm and affectionate, and glowing, but also tired and had to sit down at times. She is a warrior who is weary, and there are no words. We chatted, the food was great, the day was warm and sunny and there was a sadness as well. So much of life is complicated like this. My friend's courage is inspiring. She has made friends with fear and is enjoying each moment as it comes. And we are enjoying her in the same way.
All of this is unspoken. There are no words. Only heartache and loyalty to her and her path.
