Like An Ocean
Like an ocean, uncertain,Weather affecting current,Courses chartered led astern,How lives could be lost – In a fleeting moment. Black of night and hope for shore,Guided by a distant light -Perhaps nothing more;Though fear reaps through everyone’s core,With the ocean song, spirits soar.Come the dawn, the ocean mends,A victorious journey in the end;The folly of forecastContinue reading “Like An Ocean”
Daddy
The sound of cries,Made hush by lullabies,The dark of night,Made brightย -When bedtime stories alight. Early AM school drives,12 years of 20,000 miles,Homework of art and equations,Made easy -By his infinite patience. Because for Daddy,Love and family,Are not two words -But synonymous;A compass that guides us,In daddy’s universe. ๐๐ฆ๐ฅ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ต๐ฆ๐ฅ ๐ต๐ฐ ๐ฎ๐บ ๐ข๐ฎ๐ข๐ป๐ช๐ฏ๐จ ๐ง๐ข๐ต๐ฉ๐ฆ๐ณ, ๐ข ๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ค๐ฆ๐ณ ๐ด๐ถ๐ณ๐ท๐ช๐ท๐ฐ๐ณ,Continue reading “Daddy”

As darkness looms, Before that unpredictable climb, Hardly able to brace, Zero gravityContinue reading “Not all storms come to disrupt, sometimes they clear your path”

See this island, every grain of sand
Life before the pandemic? For me, definitely more hotel beds and airplane seats compared to the now cozy blankie and home office chair. Back then, packing my jet bag sets me on auto pilot and I could possibly do it with my eyes closed. I had more walks across airport terminals and radiation therapy departmentsContinue reading “See this island, every grain of sand”
Part 3: Improving Communication in Radiation Therapy
“Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.” โ Marie Curie Of all the things to be afraid of in the world, not knowing is perhaps my biggest fear. That is why, personally, I feel that communicationContinue reading “Part 3: Improving Communication in Radiation Therapy”
