    testimony

    I've been the half-dead man on the side of the road myself a time or two. It was so hard to watch cancer take Becky away. It was hard to watch Curtis and Katie pack and move too. It was hard when Terry had cancer and when we had the most recent cancer scare. All along I've had great neighbors, both literally and metaphorically. Thank you, Curtis, for sharing this!
  3. Your poem is so beautiful. I find it to be very comforting. Thank you for sharing it here.
  4. I had the same reactions to simple things like that. I couldn't believe the world didn't come to an end. I would get so mad to hear people laughing because to me, it wasn't time to laugh again. I passed the funeral home each time I went to school or to intern and would feel such rage against the place, as if they had taken Becky away. If looks could have burned down, it would be ashes by now.
  5. It's so hard to believe it's been a year. Friday was the one year anniversary of the last day Becky and I spent together. I knew at that time she would be leaving me soon. I could see it in her eyes. It was so hard to watch her struggle, yet I cherished every minute we had together. Lunches, office girl talk, class time, planetarium nights, New Year's Eve... all of it. I never look at the stars at night without thinking of her. There are times when I can almost feel her nearby, almost hear her say my name. The pain is still there. All of it is there, but the sharpness has finally dulled a little. But I mark each month that has passed, and now one year is upon us. I watched "Secondhand Lions" with my kids the other night, and at the end, the boy who is now a man says, "They really lived." I broke down and cried. It really summed up Becky. She really lived with cancer, instead of letting it ruin her. I was so lucky to have been her friend.
