Life will follow you, even to paradise...
My uncle and his girlfriend Kerri are visiting. I took them down to waikiki beach yesterday to get some sun and meet all of my usual beach friends. It was great, even for me. I haven't been down there in over a month, it seems I've gotten too cought up with work. I'd forgotten how much fun I have down there and how easy it is to let the sun and water wash away my worries.
My favorite thing about Hawaii, your free time is quality time. You are garunteed an amazing weekend every time.
But life isn't always peachy just because I live in paradise.
Yesterday Rhonda got a phone call from one of her long time friends from back home. She is 27, with two little girls and has cervical cancer.
Last July, I found out that I have irregular cell growth on my cervix. I had to have a procedure done where they freeze off the first few layers of tissue. My doctor informed me that this is what can become and what causes cervial cancer, and that I would have to be checked up every 4 to 6 months to make sure it didn't come back or get worse.
When Rhonda told me about her friend, it was like reality had cought up. That could be me from as little as one to two years down the road, or 6 years, or maybe never. The future is uncertain. I love my life right now, and I am happy with the decissions I have made, but no matter what I do this is something that will always follow me, and no matter what I do or how hard I try I wont be able to run away from it or forget it.
