Our family and friends joined us there. It was beautiful. We were married in Capilla Josephina, a very small but spiritually beautiful church. I needed God in our wedding and He was there. I needed my mother at our wedding and she was there. Cancer was there too although a highly uninvited guest. The damn thing has been around to this day.
I've always thought of cancer and my mom as two entities on each side of a line. Cancer cannot cross. And for the past two years it did remain on that other side. Lately, however, it has begun creeping onto that line and Mom has been battling as best she can. If only I could see this still-lingering uninvited guest eye-to-eye. I'd like to beat the crap out of it. I don't understand why it won't come out and fight.
You keep fighting, Mom. I will be your cheerleader... always.
Well, today we are taking a day to drive up to the North Shore. Another beautiful day in Kauai is coming. Peaceful thoughts. Deep breath. Take it all in...
