Bath County, Virginia

Story
January
Hope
This new treatment will work!
March
Our fragile hope destroyed
The suffocation
The tumor’s growth
June
Bourne to Scotland on angels’ wings
Hope renewed
July
Your feet buried in the white sands of Harris
The cleansing wind
Anxiety evaporating in the setting sun
August
Gratitude for this aching precious now
Life hangs on the sunrise of your laughter
September
The tumor sleeps
This moment a fragile bubble
I have one more day with you
October
I never want this year to end
I weep for my selfishness
I suffocate knowing what tomorrow may bring
I dare not hope
