SHE KNOWS

“Betsy”, aged twenty-three, was diagnosed with cancer when she was a teenager.  Betsy lived with her parents and one sister.  Betsy was starving for love as it was very limited from her parents.   Betsy then, so wonderfully, moved into a friend’s home.  It was there where she received the gifts that we all need to thrive in this life; unconditional love and support. 

Betsy is truly a survivor.  Walking into her home today, one could feel the strong love and bonding between the family and Betsy.  Betsy’s cancer returned just two months ago.   She has been physically struggling as the chemotherapy is no longer working.  Betsy was discharged home from the hospital today.  She is realistic regarding her poor prognosis.   Betsy has such strong awareness of what her life’s journeys options are; while handling things so realistically.  You are an angel, Betsy. 


SHE KNOWS 

 

She had a troubled childhood.

Her parents did not show much love.

Diagnosed with cancer at age fifteen;

her mother then kicked her out.

 

Her friend’s parents immediately invited her in.

They welcomed her unconditionally.

It was where she found pure love and support.

                    She knew just where to go.

 

She finished high school and found work;

living her life the best that she could.

Embraced by all that allows one to thrive;

                    pure love and support.

 

Eight years later, her cancer now has returned.

She has been hospitalized for over a week as

the chemotherapy is no longer working.

“No more treatment.  I just want to go home.”

 

She so deeply knows what she needs.

She so strongly knows what she wants.

“I am no longer worried at all.

I want to swim with the whales.”

 

She knows.

She so deeply knows.
