Dear Life, Anniversaries can amplify a backwash of emotions. I ask, “What are these feelings and where are they coming from?” Thoughts flow in, like fluid moving backward. Ah Hah! December 2019, sitting alone in the parking lot of the Cancer Center with the realization that I might have cancer flooded the car with tears. I was diagnosed two weeks later. Our tears flow through the body of every cancer patient, moving us from diagnosis to being here today. I am with you. You are not alone.
Yours Truly, Pamela Rose
