I woke up crying this morning after dreaming about going on a trip back to Brazil, the country where I grew up and still deeply love. In the dream, I was at the end of a visit with friends in my "home country." I woke up when I realized that might be my last trip to Brazil. After awaking, I realized that very likely I have already had that last trip back in 1996.
I love Arizona in the late winter and early spring . I have been to Phoenix 3 times... once when I was 12 years old and then twice within the last 10 years. I love Phoenix and would move there if it were not that it is too far away from my kids. Will I ever go back? Probably not.
Life is so full of those types of experiences. Having had cancer and at my age, I am so keenly aware of those opportunities. The last time I visited my Hawkins side of the family in North Carolina was well over 5 years ago. Have I made that trip for the last time? Will I ever visit Europe? Australia? (after all, I now have several friends Downunder ).
Palma in Brazil. There used to be a wooden dam at this place. Dad was the Director of the Baptist Camp located on this farm in the interior of São Paulo State.
Hi I found you on cancer forums. Thanks for moderating the site. I like your blog. I'm looking for some information, so I set up a blog. (My apologies if this isn't the correct internet "protocol") I couldn't figure out how or where to post on cancer forum. I had cancer 2oyrs ago and am now interested in hearing how other long term survivors made it. So I made a blog, if you've got any input on how you have survived I'd be interested in hearing about it. And how to get more people to see a blog? Thanks.
