I just found this. So emotive and well done!
Thank you, Pris. I remember this time so well. It was like walking on glass.

What else can we do? So much truth in this haiku.
Yes, Sheila. My youngest sister, Niamh was diagnosed with cancer when she was 43. Throughout her treatment we were constantly trying to find something positive to hope for. I was devastated when she died two years later, leaving her young family and husband. Thank you for commenting.

Nice one Marion!
Thank you, Barbara. This one was written about my youngest sister’s struggle with cancer. Sadly, she passed away five years ago. She was also my best friend and I miss her so much.
