One year ago by Pam Bispham
28th June.
One year ago this very day,
Life as I knew it, was blown away.
I wondered if I would live or die,
I struggled with trying not to cry.
My kids & grandkids are the light of my life,
Never forgetting I'm somebody's wife.
To leave them so soon, I just couldn't bear,
So much more love I'm needing to share.
So many thoughts went through my head,
How can I smile when I'll soon be dead?
But thoughts like that did not last long,
Sorrow & pity - not part of my song!
Positive vibes kicked in quite fast,
I WILL have a future as well as a past.
The journey ahead, I knew would be tough,
Hoped all those good vibes would be just enough.
The chemo was dreadful, my hair all fell out,
'I look like a freak' I wanted to shout!
The ops made my boobies all wonky & weird,
One up, one down, just as I'd feared!
My veins closed down, so they put in a line,
No more needles. Suits me just fine!
Radiotherapy - that wasn't so bad,
Nearly all over, phew, that made me glad.
Now that year is over and I'm on the mend,
To my family & friends - this message I send.
'I love you all more than life itself,
Your love & support has bought back my good health'.
Now I'm sure making up for lost time,
Retail therapy is a hobby of mine!
Lunches, lattes & shopping trips,
Enjoying my music & wiggling my hips!
Flowers, cards & all you've sent,
Can't express how much they meant.
Thank you so much, to one and all,
No stupid cancer's gonna make this girl fall!!
It is a privilege to know you, Pam

I am very proud to say that Pam is my bestest friend (Best Forever Friend) - she is one AMAZING lady and my life is SO enriched because she is part of it... I love you Pam XXX
Today,, 7 March 2016, I attended the funeral of Pam, a wonderfully complete woman. If only everyone in the world was more like her. It has been an honour to know her.
