Just remember that
sometimes, the way you think about a person isn’t the way they actually are…
People are different when you can smell them and see them up close… [John Green, Paper Towns]
I don’t know how many people actually read what I write
here. And I don’t particulary care. This is a new perspective. Somehow I think
I have lost my capacity for caring about things that no longer mean anything to
me.
I never had a script for Currie with cancer, much less
Currie & Mum both having cancer. Currie as caregiver I could envision,
though that was much fuzzier and less likely, given Mum’s strong independence.
I haven’t got to know many of my readers, yet the ones I have
met, even by email, blow me away daily. I wonder, is this all things coming to
place?! Is it time for me to no longer forget I am NOT IN CONTROL of Life and
enJOY the experience of Life, whatever it might BE DOing or NOT BE DOing.
There is only one
thing in this world shittier than biting it from cancer when you're sixteen,
and that's having a kid who bites it from cancer. [John
Green, The Fault in Our Stars]
This is something I think I finally understand about Mum and
me…
I love you, Currie

Wow! True! True! Perspectives change. Reality is different than what we might have imagined. Funny that we can't help but imagine, regardless of the fact we are usually wrong--LOL!
Everything and everyone is constantly changing so I am constantly changing my perspective on everything. 2015 has started out with major challenges for me already and it's only the 8th day of the new year. Not what I was expecting at all but I'll shuffle and adjust and plow on through the year.
