“You must live in the present, launch yourself on every wave, find your eternity in each moment. Fools stand on their island of opportunities and look toward another land. There is no other land; there is no other life but this.”
After 5 years the cancer is back...August 9, 2009
Today is my birthday and Dave insists on making it my day, as usual. We have this little "ritual" where we spend the entire week leading up to my birthday celebrating in small ways....dinner, a little pre-present, flowers he picks in the field....always something. I told him once that my first husband was not much on birthdays and it always hurt a little bit that he (the ex) didn't usually remember unless I kept reminding him and where was the fun in that. From the first birthday we spent together until the last, he has made sure I felt special on my birthday. This one won't be any different.
