Sandy and I shave our heads before all of her hair falls out.
It's hard to believe it's been two months since I heard the news. My friend, Sandy, knew something was wrong with her health, but neither one of us were expecting the diagnosis of Metastatic Breast Cancer.
Even today, it's hard to express all of the emotions I have.
I feel frightened, sad, angry, and dismayed. On some days, I feel hopeful. Other days, I feel scared to death.
When we first found out, things were very significant. We cried (probably more separately than together), laughed (which was especially tough when she wasn't breathing so great), and talked--about life, death, dreams, and small pleasures.
Through it all, I have been amazed by the depths of my own humanity and the resiliency of the human spirit. We are all so fragile, yet so strong. So broken, yet so perfect.
Above is a SoulCollage card I made to acknowledge my love for Sandy (balloon artist, Casserole Queen, "fun"raiser, and friend). In the top left of the card is a pocket watch covered in hearts. To the right, my interpretation of Sandy--struggling to make sense of it all and let it all in.
"I don't know how much longer I'll be here," the card seems to say. "But while I am, I want it all."
One Thing I Know for Sure: We're all dying. That's why it's so important that we remember how to live.
