Not far from my goals, yet so far from my dreams...

About Me

Wants to thank everyone that got out and voted.....Obama ....may he bring the troops home, make healthcare better for all, and create a better economy for us all..........."Life is never about destinations but it is all about the journey"...........I Sit with Bald Women in Borrowed Hairby Teresa Cooper --I sit with bald women in borrowed hair Each week we ask, "How are you?" And each answers, "fine"Far from fine, we do the best we can While having symptoms and side effects Trying to focus on the fact we are aliveThrough the brilliant efforts of our doctors we go each week or whatever schedule and have our bodies poked only to be filled with poison to kill the cancerMiracle/poison keeps us going In a state less than before but alive No hair...no energy... yet we do our best to keep our lives intact and our spirits positiveBodies damaged/saved by surgery Now have the look of cars with misaligned headlights Or those in bad accidents, missing partsNo bold heads here today Rarely a hatless head in this infusion areaI dream of having hair once more Thoughts of lashes and eyebrows Not vanity but normalcy So we draw our brows and wear our wigs In attempt to look and feel normal And make others feel more comfortable around usPeople say "You look so well!" Much to their surprise One would only wish to feel as good As others say you lookWe have faith... We suspend the reality of our current situations Seeking happiness and love of friends and family Day by dayWe have hope...Someday a cure. We wonder if it will be in time for us.>
