Family

I just returned from spending a week in Wisconsin with my mother. My younger brother and his two little girls were able to come as well. Peter was diagnosed with stage 4 brain cancer 2 years this September. When he was diagnosed, they had him buried in 6 months and here he is 2 years later busting all statistics. The healing power of the body and the presence of life constantly humbles me. I watch as my brother makes nothing less than life an option. He has every intention of being with his girls when they graduate, when they are married and when they his grandchildren. He is committed to life and it shows. I am continually inspired by his courage and his dedication to life and his family. I am grateful to be able to be his sister this go around. In the meantime, every time I am with him and his family is all the more sweeter with cancer sitting at the table with us uninvited. I don't know what will happen in the future and today I don't need to know, but it has caused me to relish and give thanks for each moment even more.
