so another year has begun...
I am finally back here, everything got a bit much in October.. Too much going at the time and I was just too emotionally involved to be keeping my thoughts going on here...its a funny thing, but I can't write or do any sort of art whenever I have any form of emotional stuff going on in my life....Never have been able to.. Everything just gets blocked off . So here goes with trying to get a little normality back into the new year...
We lost my dear sweet cousin Yani to breast cancer in mid November, after the toughest fight I have seen anyone put up. She had gone through one round of treatment for breast cancer the previous summer ( 2007) and we all thought she had got it licked... Returning from my birthday trip to Dublin this summer, I got a text from her while I was in the line waiting to board the plane home...
It wasn't odd that she texted me, there was nothing odd about the message - I don't know how I knew but I stepped out of the line immediately and told Neil I had to call her... And my heart almost stopped when she told me, in her usual, casual, matter of fact style...that the cancer was back, and the outlook wasnt that great...but we had to hook up soon...
After that, it took me a while I am ashamed to say to get my head around it...
I couldn't believe that, so soon after Sarah, this was happening again, things were just starting to get back to normal...
But it wasn't too long thank goodness before I got a grip .. And thank god, because we didnt have long...
Yani was 34.. She had the ability to light up a room like no one I know... she was a true individual and I'm proud to say she was my cousin...
She should have had years and years left to live .. We should have had years and years left to get to know one another more and more...She should have had her own children ....Lived the rest of her life ..
Life has its mysteries alright...
Miss you Yani xxx xxx x
Beautifully written as per normal. Glad to see you back on here. Sarah xxx
