LWC

LWC

 

Three, 3 letters,

with a powerful meaning.

I'm a LWC,

a lesbian with cancer.

I sit waiting for my first group of LWC"S to meet-

such an ominious group to part of,

a proud group to be apart of at this time in my life.

But nevertheless, how much i wish it away, I still

wake up as a womyn, lesbian, partner, neice, cousin, friend, teacher, lover of womyn, dog mom to maggie and libby and just a regular,normal person with the big"C"!

-no matter what i do!

So here I sit waiting to become a member of this

illustrious group--will I get a toaster oven?

I suppose I could use one--

What will I get?  Support, love, friendship, comfort, laughter-

I know I'll get it all and more because only another LWC could feel as I do, want what I  want and need what I need.

 

So bring on the LWC's!

This is an honest write one that also shows an open mind and acceptance. I am not sure what you will get from the group but I hope it is what you need to be strong. Great write.

[NoneOfYourBusiness akaK..]

such a beautifully written gem of pure honesty~

[Sharon Kinsella]

Then there is your friend, the lesbian with Hep C and liver disease.

I love you Audrey and know that my love and the love of your sisters will help you get through this.

Blessings my friend.

wow! i'm so happy sharon connected us, although we both are connected with the C-word, you words strike a few heartstrings...because really, when we're hit with the news, it's like "ok, any minute someone will yell 'cut' and the cameras will fall back and i'll go collect my oscar"
i was thinking on starting a book of poetry about survivors...if i put this into fruition, i would love to include this and any others you may have.
thank you for sharing, and thank you for reaching out.
