Cecille turned 50 last May 21.
But what irony. A day that started with so much joy and
celebration interrupted by a late afternoon news from her doctor that her
recent CT Scan indicates the nodule in her liver has grown 30%.
Reaching half centuries should be golden moments, milestones,
an apex. A time for great jubilation, a time for dancing. An occasion of
significance. A moment of dampened spirits it should never be.
Still, in spite of the daunting news of this enhancing
nodule, with all finesse, Cecille carried on celebrating.

For my beloved, being alive after that sad news of 4th
stage Adenocarcinoma some 2 years ago is reason for great rejoicing, of
thanksgiving, of witnessing. Half centuries are landmarks and this strong-willed and deeply
spiritual lady believes there is much yet to accomplish, much yet to share, much
love yet to give. No illness, no new pronouncements will stop these.
Hence the journey continues. She looks forward to running
the race that was set before her by her Almighty and loving Creator, her God,
her King.
Myself, I will hold her hands and run with her. Our race it
shall be.
