Purpose of this blog

My name is Cor and this is my story dealing with mucosal melanoma (MM) in my nose which was diagnosed on 10 Jan 2017. I am married and have 2 kids. I write and update this blog to reach out to all my loved ones far away with updates and my state of mind and also to share information with other patients.

4th spring has come

Wondering and struggling to come to terms with pain,
medicine just fixes the effects of what I carry deep within.
This repeated threat is a reality that fighting is in vain,
life is full of love and dreams, and such destructive sin.

The cross was explained, as a symbol of resurrection,
our sins are forgiven, eternal life is what Jezus died for.
This deep and renewed hope provides fresh direction,
I feel still and in peace, knowing that death is just a door.

Eternal life for all I love is tied to me with endless rope,
trust and confidence in Him radiate the seeds I sow.
How I pass on what I learn about love and new hope,
writing and living is example enough of what I know.

In solitude I realize my life is meant to serve to set me free,
soulmates nourish when I can no longer walk a single mile.
No longer do I miss the sense of smell cut right out of me,
flowers bloom around me, providing fragrance and a smile.
