This is a poem I shared with Di in our early dating years. I know of it from watching the TV show 'Laugh-In'. It means something different to me now than it used to. We found it on a blog called CinnamonOpus Says.
It's Not The Same Without Pelicans
by Henry Gibson
It's not the same without pelicans, you know?
I mean, dinosaurs... Well, they're too big to miss...
And besides, it was their own fault.
But we all grew up with pelicans!
I hope the ducks hold out.
At the end of May, my oncologist and I decided to stop the Avastin infusions as we felt they were no longer helping. The non-enhancing tumour has made most of my brain diffusely abnormal. Seizures during May 12-14 have caused increased right sided deficit and increased aphasia. I am now just on anti-convulsants. I am doing well and enjoying one day at a time but it is not easy. My kids and grandkids bring me so much joy.
Thank you Hal for sharing the poem. I think of you and Di often and I'm so glad you have three beautiful grandkids to enjoy.
