There are so many challenges and growth opportunities in a situation like this, it's hard to know where to begin to talk about it. One of the most challenging parts for me , living so far away, has been the uncertainty factor- basically it comes down to the question, "When will she die?" It's so ironic, because in a way, there is more certainty about her situation than there is about anyone else I know. It is certain that she will die pretty soon. Anyone else I know including myself could die at any moment- there is no certainty about how long anyone will live.
Perhaps the certainty of Peg's mortality is just the thing that awakens me to the uncertainty inherent in life, and death. I am dancing, I am dancing, I am danced...
