I am in Logan for two very good reasons this week: to see my sister who has cancer, and doesn't have much time left on this earth, and to see my son play in his Sophmore cello recital.
It is both hard and easy to be with Ginny. She is such a good person, and even though this is incredibly hard, she looks to the good things. We play games, and talk and laugh about normal things. She talks about how it will be great to see mom and dad, and how she will soon be able to get answers to questions that she has. She speaks of her love for her family. There is no doubt in my mind that she knows that this life is not the end, and that she will be able to be with her family again. It is hard to see her becoming skinnier each time I see her, to see her belly swollen with a liquid that means that the cancer is continuing in her body, and to see her in pain. She is an inspiration to me, and I hope that I can become more like her.
DJ is playing in his first solo recital. He is such a great young man. Not only is he talented, he is fun to be around. He is very spiritual and thoughtful . He has been working hard with his cello, and I am proud and pleased with all that he is doing.These are two people that I am so grateful to know and to be able to have in my life. I'm thankful to both for they ways that they have touched me!
