from our sky
once again.
Everything returned back to normal
or as normal as can be.
It's as if precious time had stood still.
My husband and I even enjoyed our first ever cruise together
and the kids stayed at home
to watch over the dogs.
I confirm my happiness with the fact that I am a very lucky woman
to be able to enjoy my 2nd honeymoon
with the man I love and adore.
Of course, coming back home
should have been the easiest thing in the world
but only now I know it to be the hardest time of my life.
Just how should I tell him?
I don't want to break his spirit
after all that we have gone through.
My dear devoted husband took a leave of absence
from his work
just to stay home and be with me.
I think that is the greatest love story ever told.
Of course my feelings are most definitely mixed.
I look and feel healthy from the outside
so he doesen't know yet.
The bad news has already crushed me on the inside
and it's these very intimate thoughts
which torture me like a private hell.
So how should I tell him?
The man who resides on the other side of my still beating heart.
The father of our 3 supportive and now grown up children.
The beacon of light who has always shown me the way home.
Just how should I tell him
.... that my cancer has come back once again.
