Notes About The Poem

dedicated to every couple going through cancer treatment~

Safe Or Not

Everyone deserves a hug.
A kiss, a warm touch.
Closeness and reassurance.

Love.

Even more so when you’re still radioactive.
We’ll get through this.

We’ll find a way.

Caren Krutsinger February 5, 2020 at 4:53 PM The people who need the hugs the most are the ones who are the least likely to get them, unfortunately. Line Gauthier February 5, 2020 at 8:58 PM So so so true. Sad.

M. L. Kiser February 5, 2020 at 12:45 PM It's a hard situation when someone's being radiated; so many endure such. A lot in my own family. Well penned. Line Gauthier February 5, 2020 at 8:59 PM Thanks for your much appreciated visit and comment, ML.

Jan Allison February 1, 2020 at 2:30 PM Sending big hugs line:-) nothing would prevent me from giving my hubby a hug especially at a time like that after treatment is over: forthe day... surelyin this technological age they can overcome the issue: -) hugs Jan xx Line Gauthier February 5, 2020 at 9:01 PM Got news - so much less drastic than feared... gloves for 24 hours for body fluids. I know - TMI (too much information) Line Gauthier February 1, 2020 at 2:46 PM Thank you so much, Jan. Don't know details yet but could be pretty drastic for the one week following each heavy duty radiation treatment... Each day is enough of a challenge without worrying about the future...
