so beautiful and so terrible...

I'd like to share with you the first paragraph (and a link to the rest) of my friend Wave Geber's blog, which she kept posting to until five days before her death from breast cancer last Friday Nov. 4th. I am still amazed at how she managed to continue writing and sharing her experience(s), with such honesty and openness and depth. And I think she'd like to have her words live on:

Oct. 30th, 2011

Yesterday would have to go down as one of the most emotionally touching times of my life. i can't believe it could get more intense than it has been, but it does...mr dave brought his guitar from new york but i didn't think i could sing anything. mitchell pushed it a bit and i laid here propped up while dave learned "song for the asking"...i sang with very little voice strength but somehow it came out sounding beautiful and sweet. then we tried "make you feel my love", and i looked up and dave was crying and mitchell was crying and i had to put my hand up so that i couldn't see them so i could finish the song. there was so much love and friendship in this room, and a deep deep sadness. we sang for an hour. each song seemed to say everything about my relationship with mitchell, our friendship with dave, and the beauty of life. i knew it was my last singing time and so did they, and mitchell didn't want it to end. these men aren't the crying types but were sobbing and tissues were flying everywhere. a most memorable gig...and an honor to share it with dave and mitchell...

It is because I really hate to see people dying of something they have very good chances to get rid successfully that I write you this again on the comments of your posts:

I'm in contact with the only person certified by Dr. Bieler as an expert in nutritional medicine. Her name is Reigh Parker Burch (Marian Menke). She spent many years with Dr. Bieler and had some laboratory studies with him and followed many patients with him, included patients with breast cancer. She is old and taking care of herself, but from time to time she accepts clients. If you are interested in a consultation on a nutritional level or if you want to know what Bieler would have said about your case, please write me: enzolibra@hotmail.it

Hope you'll get better and better day by day.

Vincenzo

p.s. always keep a strong will to live, that is fundamental.

too sad, too warm and really exquisite ~ thank you and yes, we all want our words to live on, at least I do. Wave is a wonder.

I too read more of Wave's blog--I went back to her very first post. What an incredible person. I'll be thinking about her words all day. Thank you, Jane, for passing her words along to us.

I went back a ways and read more of Wave's blog. I am so filled with emotions right now that are making me physically tremble a bit. Your title is so fitting......
