Memento Mori Haiku I
“Sorry, It’s cancer.”
Thus began his journey home
To distant children.
~*~
Memento Mori Haiku II
Bitter grudges pale,
Insignificant before
Cancer’s blinding light.
~*~
Memento Mori Haiku III
It proved a blessing-
His pancreatic cancer,
Thawed long frozen hearts.
~*~
Memento Mori Haiku IV
Spiritual growth
Inversely proportional
Physical wasting
~*~
Memento Mori Haiku V
He journeys onward,
Free of all mortal burdens,
Borne on re-found love
~*~
A commemoration on, this, the fourth anniversary of his transcendence.

Beautiful story and tribute. I’ve often said that cancer’s only blessing is that it offers us the opportunity to say the things we might not otherwise have said. Hugs!
