Thanks to all who put songs in for what was a challenging theme

Cancer affects us all - either ourselves , a family member or a friend

It doesnt hide from anybody

We do need to talk about it - though we are getting better. I know how hard it was for me - 30 years ago - pretending my aunt was coming home when I could tell she wasnt for any length of time

I know people who want to see a person every day - and then there are those who prefer to remember the person as this fit strong hero who was invincible .

To see them reduced to bones is at times shattering

Again thank you

My Aunt is currently in the late stages and wont be leaving the hospital she's in. I haven't seen her for 10 or so years but she has always sent me a Birthday card with money or scratchies or Lotto tickets in it for as long as I can remember and no matter where I moved to. It's going to be strange not receiving birthday cards every year.

**** Cancer
