It was been a sad week, my dear French neighbour, Marie, died. She had Parkinson’s disease and had been a light in my life for 20 years. What do I regret? Not buying her a top from M&S -I meant to, it would have made her smile! I regret not phoning more when we were in England and not liking her sausage and cheese cake (a family joke). I reckon she'd laugh to be on my Facebook feed!
Also my friends Amanda and Anne had birthdays, but they are no longer with us either -cancer, the big au revoir!!!
I've never felt it was a fight, a struggle perhaps?
Now it is autumn....
I’ve gone all November,
All wet leaves and fog,
I’m trying to remember,
The point of the blog?
I strip off the fabric,
To expose a mess,
They cut out the passion,
I had to undress...
The atmosphere over,
A tunnel of hush,
Where once with a tambourine
Clattering I'd rush...
The things that I told you,
Whilst shouting out loud,
Have floated off silent,
Like rain in the cloud...
Whatever cancer throws your way, we’re right there with you.
We’re here to provide physical, financial and emotional support.
