Washout Days

Several weeks ago I stopped taking my pill that blocked the androgen receptors and prevented my cancers growth.  My cancer had found new sources of androgen fuel, so we decided to move to a more aggressive offensive strategy.  I’ve noticed little things that I’d lost, during these washout days.  Like the softness of my wife’s hair, or how I feel when I first hear her voice in the morning.  Yesterday, we enjoyed the sunshine, and spent the afternoon on our picnic blanket at a Rice University park.  Surrounded by families, dogs, and kids I watched the sun go down, and noticed how MaryBeth’s eyes, reflected the setting sun, and with my finger, I traced the sun’s blushing smile as it spread across her cheeks.
