Music Monday | A Hard Day’s Night – The Beatles

December 16, 2019December 16, 2019 / Tash / Leave a comment

It’s Monday night and I’m at work again. On overtime. Again. I’m not sure if it’s a hard day’s night or a hard night’s day. Either way, we are short on people at the moment and it’s hard on everyone.

snippets & glimpses

Snippets and glimpses are all you give me, never the full picture, just pieces of you, mismatched, jagged and broken, and so you find in me no more.

The leaves are starting to turn, the mornings and evenings, crisp. The air is clear and bright as nature begins to close down for winter. This time last year, we were four months away from finding out G had a rare and aggressive type of lymphoma. And yesterday, at his post-treatment follow-up, his haematologist advised that they consider him to be in remission. His treatment is complete, his scan is clear, and we, too, move into a new season: rehab and recovery. He needs to regain the strength he lost lying in a hospital bed for seven months. He needs to regain his independence. They say it will take a year—maybe more—a reasonable estimate is two months of recovery for every month of treatment. But for now, we are grateful for this season. For the ever present now. For being. Here.
