The story of two people (now one), one family's struggle with cancer. Wednesday, December 28, 2005. Well, dear readers, here is my second attempt at HNT. Enjoy. Posted by Phaedrous at 9:52 PM. Links to this post. Tuesday, December 27, 2005. Well, another Christmas has come and gone. It was pretty quiet this year. The kids are older and don’t make the trek to the tree in the dark wee hours of the morn anymore. In fact, they are probably just going to bed at that time. Posted by Phaedrous at 10:22 AM.

Love Letters: November 2006
http://phaedrous-loveletters.blogspot.com/2006_11_01_archive.html
Just trying to get the last word. Tuesday, November 28, 2006. My Dearest Love,. I got a call last week from the gentleman who facilitated the recent family debacle. He asked me if I would like to come in for a "debriefing," saying that sometimes it helped to go over a session and review it. I said, "sure" and this morning I went in. I reiterated my earlier statements of culpability, saying that I too lost my control and said things that were both undiplomatic and unhelpful. He responded saying that h...

Love Letters: August 2006

Just trying to get the last word. Tuesday, August 29, 2006. My Dearest Love,. I dreamt of you last night for the first time since you left me. I was wondering when this would happen. I thought it strange that I would not dream of you - you, who were such a part of my existence. Are you looking in on us? Do you know your son has a new squeeze? Remember the family that moved in behind us in the old neighborhood? Your daughter asked me today if it was OK to see a "shrink." She must finally be trying to ...

Just trying to get the last word. Monday, June 26, 2006. How I Miss You. The weather was iffy up until the last moment then suddenly the clouds parted and the sun shown down. You didn't have anything to do with that did you? Did you hear the piper as he played Amazing Grace? Probably the proudest moment came when your daughter got up and spoke at the microphone for about five minutes. She told the crowd of three hundred and fifty about how you influenced her. It was powerful stuff and left many a...I wen...

Just trying to get the last word. Saturday, July 22, 2006. My Dearest Love,. I don't know if I can do this. I have to keep walking away from the collection of gear because I become overwhelmed. What will they do? How will I cope? I write this to you at eleven o'clock in the morning. This will be a long day. I love you, where ever you are. Posted by Phaedrous at 11:00 AM. Tuesday, July 18, 2006. My Dearest Love,. The house is quiet once more. I have never closely examined them before. I knew that you ...

Just trying to get the last word. Wednesday, February 28, 2007. My Dearest Love,. Your sisters called me yesterday. Separately. It was nice. The first was your youngest sister, the one that seemed to be the hardest case. She espressed concern and willingness to help in any way she could. Later that night, I had a similar conversation with your other sister. Yours for ever,. Posted by Phaedrous at 7:33 PM. Saturday, February 24, 2007. My Dearest Love,. I hope you have a double bed wherever you are. I ...

The story of two people (now one), one family's struggle with cancer. Friday, March 31, 2006. Fingers in the Dyke. C had been feeling progressively worse over the last couple of days - extremely low energy, nausea, shakiness. She looked pale, as though she was starting to pass over into that other place. What is happening is that C is bleeding to death through little cracks and wear points in her intestines - death by one thousand cuts. If not, then it is a matter of days.

The story of two people (now one), one family's struggle with cancer. Thursday, June 29, 2006. Thank you to all who wrote, emailed, or called to check on me. I thought about taking my last post down, but in the end, decided to leave it there even though a I hate to be the person who is illuminated by those words. The reason I decided to leave it up was that it was true. All of the fears and concerns I mentioned are real even if they were expressed by a tired and depressed man in the throes of loneliness.

The story of two people (now one), one family's struggle with cancer. Saturday, January 28, 2006. It’s an empty house Saturday around here. J is off at Aunt P’s on an overnight and K is babysitting all day. C is upstairs having her breakfast of pills and yogurt and I am having my second start to the day after rising at 5:30 to make coffee and get K delivered surly and still in pajamas to her two young charges. And platelets, but no RBC’s. US: No, that’s MxXxxx. And it went downhill from there. The TW...
