NORA L. JAMIESON. The Rabbits, My Mother, My Dead. Posted by Nora Jamieson. On February 22, 2014. I was four when she rescued an infant bunny from the lush circular garden that lay at the center of our yard. Not as tiny in my hand as in the large and capable hands of my mother, the bunny was a silky slip of fur. I watched her hold the rabbit, gently coaxing it to feed from an eye dropper filled with cow’s milk before laying it in a box in the mudroom. And a wooden box holding a single orphaned bunny.

Its time to talk about why cancer is treated so seriously, and is so different from most of the afflictions we endure in our brief lives.

NORA L. JAMIESON. Posted by Nora Jamieson. On December 29, 2013. I dreamed of the Turquoise Sofa last night. Why now, after half a century, am I dreaming of the Turquoise Sofa. But no more so than the unspoken truth of death, of illicit pasts and banished grandmothers. The unutterable and unbearable knowing that, in the next room, my father lay dying. I dreamed of the Turquoise Sofa last night. Underworld relics of an unlived life. I dreamed of the Turquoise Sofa last night. Should I be alarmed? My lover...

It would be several days before results of that Thursday’s testing would get to my doctor. I was driving down the main street in Rockland the next Monday when my cell phone rang.
