Day 32 (86.5%)

Something I’ve been noticing lately is how many other song ideas have come to mind over the past few weeks. For example, back on Day 9 I used “Nine to Five.”  How did I have forgotten The Searchers 1963 hit, “Love Potion Number 9?” For Day 8 I could have used Herman’s Hermits 1965 “I’m Henry VIII, I Am,” which was a revival of a 1910 British music hall song.

Like so many days, today, #32, was slim pickings. I have to admit that today’s song is pretty sappy, but it was the best I could find. Here is the chorus of Jeremy Passion’s “32,” a tribute to his mother whom he says “only looks like 32”:

I just wanna tell you

While we’re here together,

Thank you for raising me.

When friendships have faded

And life gets complicated,

Still got my family.

Oh, Momma, thank you for loving me.

32 (Jeremy Passion)

This morning the therapist who set me up started talking to me about life after the radiation therapy is finished, about the recovery time from the side effects of the treatment. It was a bit disconcerting for him to talk about the fact that the symptoms may take weeks to fully subside, but the good news of this conversation is that I guess it means we really are in the home stretch!

Love,

Rebecca
