You are amazing with the words you have used and your ability to find your peace. Soon he will find his. Love you.

It is a manuscript and a metaphor. The manuscript is random and poorly organized. The intention changed when Joyce died and then again when Jamie moved to the second overpass on the right. With every left hook life has thrown, we have redefined survival and recovery. It isn’t the same today as it was last month or even yesterday.
My darling girl, I share it with you every day. With my head on your breast while I cry, with your head on mine as you understand the woman you are, as mogo and char move through the dance that is their growth, as the Norwegian figures out what it means to be a man in spite of the role models he hasn’t had–through all of this I share the metaphor. It is better organized than the book. Someday, perhaps.

Someday you will have to share that manuscript with me if it is not merely a metaphor. I love you… you will survive. It just doesn’t feel like it yet.

I know it will never be the same and probably won’t even be sufficient but while he will be missing from those festivities, we will be there and you will not be alone and I know a crazy norweigian that will be happy to put up your tree.

I have been thinking about the lasts too. It makes me mad.

I found your blog on google and read a few of your other posts. I just added you to my Google News Reader. Keep up the good work. Look forward to reading more from you in the future.

things seem to be going well. I struggle to keep the balance between optimism and realism. Some disappointments are just too hard to bear. Thanks for your prayers.

Comment on The Most Survivable Cancer by Mark

Read your post concerning the death of Dan Fogalberg, and your noted your life as a woman “without a prostate”. I am a 52 year old and had my prostate removed in my 51st year. I am blessed to live in an age when PSA testing and cancer awareness is higher than in the past. I am most blessed to have had a cancer with a better Gleason score. Yet, each PSA result still is anticipated with some level of apprehension. I don’t have incontinence issues, but I am still impotent, and though I would rather not be, and I do hope for recovery, it does teach one of their true value. I am a physical therapy. There are a lot of things which are taken from people. An erection turns out not to be the biggest one.

I stumbled upon your blog, or web site, or whatever these things are. I was looking for information about Dan Fogelberg. You’re a funny gal. Maybe a tiny weeny bit pissed off at life. But heh, at our age, if nothing pisses you off, on at least a daily bases, what’s the sense of getting up? Anyway, I spent some time reading your site, and you made me laugh,…and think. Hope you have a good day.
