The Circle Is Completed
Sharon was incredible
Her life was filled with joy
Her laughter habit forming
Her bad news shared with brefity
It wasn't time to mourn or feel sorry for herself
It was time to fill remaining time with more laughter
She was told 3 months and she laughed.
Her favorite saying was "I'll show you
Four months passed
Office visited
Hands on chin and na na na to the doc
1 year another visit made to doc
And on and on for 7 years
7 years and 3 months celebrated with Decdadent chocolate cake
Too much Tequila, cigars and anything that was forbidden
She knew
I knew
But the day was filled with joy, laughter,tears and expectation of the next step
I went home and knew I would never have the joy of seeing her again
7 years 3 months and i day
She showed him
