My husband really did have cancer. He's OK now and he's my ex. That's why I take care of the pond now.<br /><br />Love the Poe quote. We spent a lot of time with Mr. Poe back when my kids were younger and we were homeschooling.<br /><br />I know people like to feel better by telling themselves and others that everything will work out for the best. It's crap though. Sometimes things don't work out so well; sometimes things get so bad, you don't know how you'll survive and you wonder why you'd want to. And I don't think it necessarily makes you stronger. You just know more about what you can take. There's some wisdom to be found in that, I suppose.Reticulahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05577343017332273507noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856183318248330085.post-41313232964196329912009-04-20T20:07:00.000-04:002009-04-20T20:07:00.000-04:00If your husband really does have cancer, I am very...If your husband really does have cancer, I am very sorry, and I hope his treatment is going well.<br /><br />"No matter how much you need it"<br /><br />Yes. No matter how bad things get, there is no guarantee that they won't get worse, or that you will be made better by your suffering.<br /><br />Poe wrote about sand flowing through his fingers" I hold within my hands, grains of the golden sand. Few there be, yet how they creep, through my fingers to the deep. While I weep. While I weep. Oh, God, could I not clasp then with a tighter grasp? Oh, God, could I not save, just one from the pitiless wave....?<br /><br />I quote from long ago memory, so no doubt there are mistakes.Snowbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00436087215476479042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5856183318248330085.post-23737685382572122962009-04-20T19:29:00.000-04:002009-04-20T19:29:00.000-04:00I keep forgetting you have a blog.
