After leaving the meeting with Dr. Vaporciyan and entering back to the hallways of M.D.Anderson, the letter "
B" presented itself to me in various and direct ways. There were signs everywhere with this letter directing our way through the halls and back to the elevators for our exit...Elevator "
B". As I took a few minutes to ponder this unusual fixation, the word "battle" came to my mind. The battle ahead I face -to remain strong and focused and open to my healing. The good natured and playful "battle" memory of the movie "Michael" and the scene with the "Bull". But the bull did not feel quite right as an image to hold on to, so after another moment, a "
Buffalo" came into my thoughts. I was transported back to the main entrance of my high school where a magnifcient head of a buffalo hung over the steps. The "mighty, mighty Buffalo" chant said on many team bus trips to go play football games ran through my head. As I shared these thoughts with Denbie and Dylan, they said "well, you're getting ready to go to the
Black Hills and the
Badlands and your sons, the
Brothers , will "
B" with you. Last night, Scott
Bosard invited us to a football game in Huntsville featuring North Dakota State, his alma mater. At a pregame party, out of the clear, one of the hosts came up and presented me with a hat from NDSU with their mascot on the front, a
"Bison". This is most definitely a spiritual journey I'm on and my soul and heart thanks all for their love, thoughts, and prayers for myself and my family.
Thank you Steve for your last post. It reminds me to look and reflect on the minute details of our everyday life. You have always been the one to seek for the details of the past with your gift of accurate memory (that most of us have not been so blessed with) but more than just merely recounting the facts you have also the rare gift of making connections between things. thanks for sharing your heightened awareness with us...Love RainAurel
