Six years ago

Six years ago today

On the second of May

Surgery began

Because I liked to tan

.

A mole upon my toe

Started to grow and grow

It was melanoma

Changing my persona

.

It’s not just skin cancer

Deadly, I found out after

Spreading to my lymph nodes

Anxiety overloads

.

But six years down the line

I sort of feel quite fine

No Evidence of Disease

I’m here; the day to seize

.

Feeling thankful

Living with vigilance

Wearing sunscreen

Melanoma Awareness

A post from six years ago

A chilly Porthmeor Beach

Grey skies over the harbour

In need of colour!

Melanoma

Wednesday 1st May

Sunshine makes you smile

But can also kill

Put your sunscreen on

To enjoy life’s thrill

.

Melanoma Awareness

The month of May

Not just skin cancer

Keep those rays at bay

New solar powered robin for my Angel

Pretty blues in the harbour

Quite a few on the beach in the corner

Lifeguards patrolling Porthmeor Beach

Early, early morning

Thursday 25th April

.

Early, early morning

Or the middle of the night

Two thirty at the hotel

After a bumpy night flight

Sleeping for a few hours

Then on the road at daylight

Driving back home in traffic

Took longer than I thought it might

Now suitcases are unpacked

And everything’s all right

.

And thinking of you

Sweet Angel son

Dark moody skies driving home

Towards the rain on the A30

Old stone bridge over the River Inny, east Cornwall

Your primulas growing well

Auntie gave you some carnations

We love you sweetie
