I am in the final stages of metastatic colon cancer. I have just finished my 26th round of chemotherapy. In 2 weeks, I will have another scan to see which organ in my body Cancer has chosen to dance with next. It has been a very difficult time. My writing has helped me to deal with death as if it is some sort of supernatural being I need to fight and expel myself. I have to go deep within myself and find my own inner peace and magic. Writing makes me happy, perhaps it is my armor. Perhaps my story is meant to be shared. Words are Power. Words are strength. Words are my legacy. Words touch the heart, the soul and the spirit. I pray my words help in the fight with cancer. Is it possible words can heal?

Spooky and Boo are nursing peacefully while Mama affectionately soothes them each with her tongue. They are just about six weeks old. Spooky is good at hiding. He wears his ebony black coat like camouflage. When he feels threatened or scared, he will close his eyes and disappear within the shadows believing if he cannot see what scares him, it cannot see him. He is a strong little guy and quite muscular. Mama says, one day, he will look like a small and powerful leopard.

Spooky is very nosy and eager to explore. Red, blue, green and yellow bobbles hang from every branch of the tree in the living room. Oh, how he wants to climb that tree.

One of these days I will be big enough to jump on a branch and I will sniff and touch everything, he says while cleaning milk off his face.

If you do, Groush will skin you alive. Boo stops cleaning her paws to point at him, You’ll look like a naked rat! Holding her tummy, she laughs at her own joke.

You just wait and see. He mutters to himself.

He will show her who the cat of the jungle is. As soon as he is big enough, he will bat one of those red bobbles to Boo so they can play with it together.

Spooky and Boo like his wife, Lily does. He never pets or talks to them either. He only yells, hits and grabs. When he is near the kittens always hide. He carries a stick and smells like earthworms. He always waves that stick and yells. Boo doesn't think he has any lips. Mama says that's because he hasn't any teeth.

Boo waits until Groush is napping and tip-toes nose to nose to have a look. Unfortunately, she is so close, Groush sucks her whiskers up his nostrils while snoring. It must tickle because he reaches up to swipe at his nose. Boo is so fast his hand only grazes her fur. Surprised, Groush opens his eyes in confusion. It is a good thing she is too fast for Groush to catch, but Mama sure did. After a swat to her furry butt, she makes Boo sit in the corner with her nose touching the wall. Eventually Boo falls asleep, and Mama is no longer mad.

Boo is both smaller and smarter than Spooky. Spooky is lovable and has the IQ of a bobblehead. When he thinks of something to do, his eyes glaze over, and his head bobs up and down excitedly.

Boo is dainty and princess-like. When she drinks from her bowl her little pinky sticks out just like those southern belles in the movies. She likes to play house. She is the mommy who pretends to feed and bathe Spooky the baby. Boo loves to dress him in the baby clothes Lily gave to them. Spooky hates it.

He grumbles, "I don't want to be the baby. I
