Cancer is, unfortunately, one of those traumatic events in life that can completely alter your way of perceiving. My father lost his battle to cancer some years ago and his struggle made me view our daily struggle to live, I mean really really live each day as more than just going through the motions of existing. I’m glad that you are still here with us and that you too have found the joy of ballet. I agree with you that I wish that I had discovered it earlier but we have it now so I’m going to be grateful and indulge in it now!
