Who I Am

My hair is gone in patches (but mostly gone)
My eye brows are half their original look
My eyelashes are in funny little clumps
My belly is swollen
My arms and legs are weak in comparison to where I started
My stomach is uncertain about a lot of things...hmmm...
My brain is fuzzy on the edges.

But I am not hair, or eyebrows, or eyelashes, or a belly, or legs, arms, stomach or brain...

I am what is in my heart and what I share with others - and what I take in from the world.

I am one of the lucky, lucky few who gets a glimpse of this while there is much more living ahead of me.

I will not forget.
