When my sister in law was diagnosed with breast cancer, she'd had some removed and was told that it might not spread but opted for a single mastectomy, to 'be on the safe side'. She was 70 and I know that makes no difference to how you feel about...
So, so beautiful. And such a wonderful testament to your daughter. Your words capturing beauty lost and still existing I like that you included 'but now I'm content to remain'. I'm amazed that your skill with words and imagery just continues to...
'a maze of so many no-through roads' such a telling phrase. So sad that the real person is still there but does manage to surface occasionally. Sad and funny in equal measures, love 'the best frilly draws.'
I just hope Tina that your poems bring you some kind peace. I know the heartache will never diminish but i am sure that your thoughts and images in your poetry will help others who find it difficult to express their feelings. I think it very...

So much in this and behind it

Tina, you never fail to have lovely little, and beautiful, insights into your daughter's too brief life, and death.
