We Have Cancer

we have cancer
the me from the you
inseparable
we can overcome
you and i as one
determined
to the power of two

I know a couple experiencing the powerhouse of two. He sends out weekly updates with his sense of humor intact in which must be a daily suffering. Praying for Jane...praying for you, dear Line!
