The Shadow Mood
Tuesday, May 19, 2009 | A Rambling story
Do tell...how is it?  Living under the shadow of cancer every single day of your life?  The weight of the shadow must be immense, shoulder breaking, heart breaking, and spirit breaking?  I wonder, everytime you go for a test, does the shadow come closer to you?  Like the time of day changing?  And when the test comes back in your favor, does the shadow shorten and become thinner?  I cannot imagine the shadow...for I too can be under this?  Where I prefer casting the shadow, being in the sunlight, counting my days as blessings, and taking life as it comes... instead I too now live my life under the shadow.

    I'm so sorry you have cancer. My Mom,best friend, was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer in Sept. 06....She outlived her prognosis by 11 months. She was brave and such a fighter! I watched helplessly as the chemo ravaged her body. But she never once complained, bless her heart. My prayers are with you~Katie

    Yes, it slowly took her life,breath away. Mom could not get around without a walker,oxygen..It was horrifying. But she never complained. Not once. She had strength,character and a heart of gold. I will pray you survive.
