Call me weird, but I thought having a bit of a ‘wake’ before I undertake treatment that could see me die was actually a nice way to gather my friends together and have an afternoon of bubbles and sunshine together (hey – they can do it all again when I’m gone!)
Of course I didn’t let on directly that impending death was my motivation, just that I wanted to hang out with some of those closest to me before I had to go into isolation. In a highly emotionally charged afternoon, my family and I were able to spend time with former school mates, work colleagues, medical practitioners, swimming and music buddies, neighbours….the list goes on.
We had a gorgeous time and formed memories that will surely help get us through some of the tough times ahead.
