The Reality
Today I understand what is important about life. First Rene is moving forward in her treatment and is ready to keep fighting her cancer. Secondly I have experienced my first of many holidays where I will not speak with my father.
I have to remind myself that I have very lucky to be alive and healthy compared to what has occurred this year. Juggling both joy and sorrow is not easy and there is nothing I can do to change the void that exists. I take comfort in watching Rene reclaim herself.
My mother has begun her new phase with his death and its impact is greater than what I am experiencing. In any case there is no time to wallow in the past. Life is a terminal state and how a person lives their life determines if it was either fulfilled or empty. We all need to avoid an empty existence in life.
