PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

My dad was diagnosed with cancer on 3/6/08 and found out on 3/7/08 that its in his lung, spine and adrenal gland.

This is for my Tio Lucaus Estrada (1946-2006). He died of a steam cell transplant that he had to have in order to stop the cancer coming back. I blame the cancer to this day. He died in June 2006.

*This piece just came about this morning, 'inspired' if you will, by the my recent neuro tests, that show I am loosing gray matter functioning in the frontal lobe and left side of my brain-as a result of ME/CFS CNS/neuro involvement. I feel so blessed to have even been able to pen this one, because writing...creating is getting harder and harder to do and I do less and les sof it because of my frustrations in not remembering things or being able to find and grasp words and things I want to say.

For My Mom. I love you forever!!
