Well, it has been a LONG time since I blogged. When I first started my blog, my first reader and follower was a male cousin, whom I had only met in person two or three times in my life. We got reacquainted through FB and Email. He read my blogs, commented on them and encouraged me to keep writing and to publish my blog address so others could read.
Although I wasn't there during most of his 10 year journey with cancer, I was there long distance through the last few years. I learned so much about his perserverence, his integrity, and rising above the junk that comes with cancer. I got to meet his wife and children through the magic of FB. I believe that Tom was an inspiration to many of us cousins as we particpated long distance in his journey with the big "C". When he passed away, it hit me way harder than I ever dreamed. The writing just stopped in its tracks. It was an obstacle that I couldn't get around until now.
Finally, I am at a place that I feel free to write again. So to Tom - I'm glad you are peace and have no pain. Thanks for your part in encouraging me to write and blog! I begin the next part of my journey.
