Book Club

Back in January, when all this disaster came to light, the San Francisco girls decided to have our first book club meeting. Since then we have met every 2 weeks, recently every week. However there has been not too much reading being done!!! There has been a lot of laughs, discussions and tears. I even had to take some Tylenol prior to our meeting the evening of the day that I had my liver biopsy.It has been a great support to have the girls around. Erika, Leslie, Cathy and Andrea. And we all wear our chrysicolla necklaces
I have managed to talk about my fears for the future, feeling that I have been cornered and realizing that there may not be a way out from this. My fear and knowledge and regret that my life will end too soon, and that I have another 40 years to live and the knowledge that I know life will continue for everyone and that I won't be a part of it. People will be sad for a while and miss me, but eventually they will pick themselves up and move forward, creating a new normal, a new happiness. That Heather and Finlay are so young and the fear of them not really knowing me or remembering me.I will fade and it will be a long time until we are reunited.
I talk to them about my fears of the life here after, faith. I am a christian and went to church for most of my youth, however recently have not practiced a faith, more so enjoying the beauty of God's creation in nature.

We have made some plans to create a journal, with photos and text to capture the love that we have and to give the kids some advice.
