Did not the body of your son break
so that our bodies would not?
Did not the spirit of your son live
so that ours would not die?
I have no third person;
I am not a Trinity;
I cannot keep my mother wholly within
me when she is gone.
Neither can I tear off these eyes and see
what you have taken away.
You, my Father, are not the same
to me as my mother.

Hi Naomi, I have just read all your blogs; they convey the powerful love you have for one another. Lovely. You may have heard about Dr. Robert Buckman (oncologist, Princess Margaret in Toronto, author of CANCER IS A WORD, NOT A SENTENCE). I heard him speak and he is wonderful and inspriational about the progress in cancer research and also at dispelling some of the myths people have. I wish you all lots of luck and fun on your June 1st run! XXX Ruth
