Cancer, love and learning to die eloquently~ Posted by Sally on October 08, 2002 at 19:43:23:
hello all~
Learning to die is my lesson it seems these last few months. My x
husband who has been back with me for 4 years was diagnosed with
teminal lung and brain cancer,,,,and he NEver smoked a cig in his life.
I on the other hand, continue to indulge in smoking, drinking and
various other oddities but my profile is cancer and disease free,,,,go
figure. Anyway, I have been reading through all of the latest posts,
and John, please,,,continue in your vien on how hard it is to be
understood...that post to Eon and John was priceless for me, as I am
never understood, and vice versa. Terminal illness seems to "smack one
in the face" so to speak, and I am trying like hell to be a warrior,
but the ego is a hard foe to irradicate. I am so proud of you Eon for
coming so far in your journey, you are an inspiration to an old "bag"
like me, I wish I had been turned on to mindfulness etc. when I was 25,
and perhaps I wouldn't be so fucked up now, just a thought, but I do
know that you are light years ahead of most 25 year olds....keep up the
good work. So for now, I am probably not too into posting as old shit
and new shit are time consuming and not productive most of the time. I
just wanted all of you to know that I am still here, and John, I love
you more than I can say, thank you so much for your class, and your
concern. Love,
Sally ;-)
