In today's Globe and Mail (Nov. 13, 2009) there was a dismaying article about how frequently women with chronic conditions (MS, Cancer and so on) are abandoned by their husbands and lovers. The corollary to that is that men with similar conditions are not so frequently abandoned.
For my brave, cheerful, thoughtful Wendy:
24th September, 1945
The best sea: has yet to be crossed.
The best child: has yet to be born.
The best days: have yet to be lived,
And the best word that I wanted to say to you
Is the word that I have not yet said.
Masim Hikmet, from Poems to Priaye from Prison
