A New Journey by Sarah Robin Story of the Month contest entry |
My life has been filled with wonderful experiences. I’ve cherished my time as a daughter, a wife and a mother. I enjoyed my professional career as a teacher. I’ve also been able to pursue my passions for bridge, tennis and golf. I have traveled and lived around the world, making lifelong friends along the way. Now, I am embracing a new journey. On January 8th, I was taken to the emergency room with respiratory and heart issues. While the talented staff of Texas Health Presbyterian was quick to get these issues under control, the long-term prospects have not turned out to be so good. I was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. I have since returned to my home and have started receiving hospice care. I was touched by the thoughtfulness of Debi Pick Marquette, writing and posting the poem, “Sarah’s in the Hospital”. I also was moved by the comments and reviews posted on her poem. I truly appreciate the support and well-wishes which have given me energy to take on this new journey. I am still laying out the plans for this new experience. Under the care of my hospice team, I’ll stay in my home for as long as I can. As time and my energy level permits, I plan to continue to write, and of course, read articles on FanStory.
