A year ago part two

We got up early the next morning. All I could think about was how could I tell the person I love more than anything that she had cancer. It was a day I never wanted to live.
Arlina is reading this and tells me she got up early because she was planning to go to work!!

But I didn't have to tell her--she knew. And she was ok. I can't really recall too much of what we talked about as the day began. All I really remember about those first moments is that they were filled with an unexpected grace, and it was this grace that gave us what we needed to take those first steps down the path that had been laid ot before us.

I took her picture--it was the first one I took of her with the new camera. It is a little out of focus, much like the morning, but seems to capture the moment pretty well.
