Cold feet before Thailand
I am going to see Rusty very soon. In less than two weeks he will fly down to Singapore to spend 10 days with me. We have plans to fly to Thailand and Laos. It will be a quick holiday, but one that is significant.
On the day before his flight here, he will have scans to see if the cancer has spread further. On April 16, in Laos, we will celebrate his 32nd birthday.
So there are two obvious questions. Will we reunite in tears, or in joy? Will he live to see his 33rd year? This life, we have learnt to live by scans. Each interim between is a gift, and we must ready to accept it.
