THAT DAY!!!!- ( Another one 4 my son)......

2 minute read time.

                               LAST FEW MONTHS OF CURE!

Can you stop acting like a fool please?

If not for yourself, could you do it for me?

If only for the duration we're facing?

The final part, the most important piece:

The part where you FINALLY get cured of this disease!

The point where you'll finally be able to stop fighting!

Re-discover your health, & start doing all you were wanting,

Live the life you dreamt of;

The one you were headed for,

Before this evil disease SNATCHED it all away!

 

I feel guilty in my own wierd way

Feel like somehow I helped you enter the life you now endure;

It was me, after all, that tricked you into seeing your doctor!

It was that action, by me and all we discovered 'That Day';

What illness you had, & what all that entailed;

Chemo, hairloss, denial, despair....

It was ALL down to me, however 'good' my intent!

But all you were planning for, was simply snatched away in a moment!

All your dreams plans and hopes-Just GONE in a few seconds in time!

 

The pain I feel for causing you all this, is now the cross I bear,

And you should know by now, that if I could, I'd take it all away!

Re-wind time, so we can merely skip That Day,

Undo all that was said; all the chemo & hairloss: just write it away!

It'd all be irrelevant, cos there would never have been a that day!

Life would just be carrying on as before;

Before our lives came crashing down around us with one word: Cancer!

 

It would never be the curse you now endure

Because there would be no such thing ever heard of before!

And as it was, up until we saw your doctor

Life would simply continue, the way your were planning it to!

We'd have skipped a day forward in time,

And by doing so left the disease, called Cancer, behind!

So no-one; anyone, would ever have to experience a THAT DAY again!

 

BUT:

You still have to get there yet!

Stop acting like a pratt!

You're dragging my heart behind every wrong move you make;

Every wrong decision you decide to take

Affects me too!

I'm not blind;

I'm the one forced to sit, poweless, watching,

Seeing every mistake you make,

Wondering, if you even realise, that my heart's going to break?

All the time,realising that you don't seem to care!

Nothing means anything, unless it's all about you;

Least that's what I see from my point of view!.....

 

Does this mean I'm just being selfish?

Looking out for numero uno?

I don't feel selfish-I feel scared of all this!

Frightened, while you blunder on, making all these mistakes.

You make me feel so alone; like this is somehow one big game

Or the fact that you'll do this to me, simply  'cos you can!

You're holding all my emotions in your hand,

Haven't you considered that whatever, eventually, all games end?

 

I Still love you-Please open your eyes!

Take the time to realise

That blundering blindly denying it all

Will be your regret, when it goes arse round tit 

And, by default, I'll be dragged into it!

 

Open your eyes and be a Man,

If you really want the happy end!

Nothing comes to those who dont try,

Maybe you should start to help yourself;

No more living in denial,

No more giving up giving up!

Just doing everything as it should.

Nine months, then you'll have your cure,

And you'll never have to look back, because you'll have a future!!!......

Before you get that, you have to face your illness and cure.

Ignorance is only for the weak; for the ones who find it easier to ignore:

But ignorance isn't bliss; not in the long term!!!

I wish you'd open your eyes,

Take off the blinkers,& realise

You have this chance to live the life your wanting,

So grab it with both hands son; it's all yours for the taking!

 

ALL MY LOVE FROM MUM. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

    Hi My Hubby does not wish to know anything about his Bone Marrow Transplant, would not even sit in on the consultation. He knows fine well he has Leukaemia but does not want to discuss it or even to aknowledge it for all the same reasons you want your son to He is also scared. He is the one going through all the physical symptoms and I just have to be there for him he will not even disturb the staff by asking for pain meds.

    He is in isolation for 6 weeks at a time and when he does get home he is not fit to do anything. I guess what I am trying to say is you won't ever stop worrying and wanting to help your son you are his mum. But he will come to you when he is ready to accept his illness. Perhaps knowing what is to come will only make thing worse for both of you. It is a scary old business this world of cancer and if you are a worrier it just escalates out of control, especially in the wee small hours when your brain goes into overdrive.

    Try giving him some space and don't question his every move difficult as this may seem it might help. When he come home stick the kettle on and ask him what kind of day he has had without once mentioning his cancer or how worried you have been.

    I will be thinking of you both

    Take care

    Love Teri
