In honour of Raymond

Today’s blog is in honour of my fiance.

We had a relationship together years ago eventually going our separate ways.  Seven years later we came into contact again as friends.  After some time, both free agents and to be honest, both unwittingly, we fell in love again.

It would have been easy to have dismissed the idea of being with me.  Let’s face it, I have terminal cancer, why even consider it an option?  There are so many wonderful girls out there with far less problems than me or would you say, with greater certainties than me.

People have commended me for my bravery.  However, I’d like to acknowledge the bravery of a man for opening himself up, for making himself vulnerable, for supporting another person and being man enough to deal with my powerful emotions as well as their own.  Emotions they have chosen to open themselves up to.  Of course, he says it was never a choice.

A man who has previously supported and witnessed his own father lose a battle to cancer.  Imagine the emotional triggers for him that lie within my situation.

I am so grateful to have the support of a very brave man.  A man who is strong yet vulnerable at the same time.

I feel very lucky to have been given a chance to love and be loved.
