I thought for my first post I'd put up this piece I did for Cincinnati magazine's January 2011 issue. This piece was interesting in that the story really hit close to home. It's about the author, Dennis O’Connor's journey into what he calls "Cancerland." Every time I read one of his experiences I got flash backs of the past few months when my Dad would tell me very similar things about his journey. Thankfully the Dennis is still able to enjoy a beautiful sunrise. If you read the article you discover that he has a whole new outlook on life now.
My father unfortunately passed and doesn't have the same luxury of looking out his window and watching the sun rise above the Vermont mountains.
It wasn't an easy assignment but somehow I did find some joy in doing this piece. It was helpful in ways. I truly hope the best for the Dennis and his family and hope they find some cure for this disease. No one should ever have to go through what Dennis and my Dad had to endure.
If you'd like to read the article you can read it here.
Until next time.
All the best.
