Thanks to each of you for the great notes.
My mother died of breast cancer. My favorite aunt died of breast cancer. I found out recently my first girlfriend/wife died of breast cancer. My wife and our family went through three years of her struggle with a breast cancer that wouldn’t stop. Then we found out she has the BRCA mutation, which my daughter also has. It is time for her to do what she has to do. My wife reminded me this is breast cancer awareness month, so I wrote this.
I guess the contrast between the world outside and the world inside isn’t working. I can see it is, in a word, superficial and obvious. The struggle she is experiencing is deeper than flowers/no flowers.
All I can do is think/try not to think and wait for something more.
Thanks for pointing out what it needs.
