Your Dying Spouse 683 - Keep On Swimming {FMF}

Well, gee. I can't turn my head to the right anymore. There's a tumour in the way.

So, like the eye-patched Nick Fury in the Avengers films, when I want to see something on that side, I turn.

"Sounds exhausting," said Tony Stark.

It is.

But, whatever. You do what you can until you have to do what you must.

I'm swimming very far from shore,

beyond the outer reef,

bottom's a thousand fathoms, more,

and kraken rides beneath.

I feel the salt in the spray,

and it mingles with my tears

that are quickly washed away

leaving just my fears.

I'm tossed and turned, spun about

and dropped from crest to trough,

with no one to hear cry or shout

but the wandering albatross.

Chin up, lad, swim on, be brave,

till Jesus walks out on the wave.

If you want to read about real courage, the ultimate keep-on-swimming attitude, look to Paul Batura's wonerful tribute to Alex Trebek.

And, of course, the musical theme has to be provided by Dory from Finding Nemo...

Friends are everything. I couldn't have done it.
