Fantastic chemotherapy presents are tricky to obtain. Just after 20 yrs of friendship, Nancy nailed it. Glossy vacation magazines arrived in the mail that includes pristine beach locations and faraway towns. A Post-it instructed: “Hang in. We’re going a person working day.” Chemo ended. Medical procedures healed. Incurable lymphoma lingers. “Enough,” she reported around the mobile phone. “I’m scheduling Paris.” I’d under no circumstances been. Nancy, fluent in French, whirled us via cobbled streets, toasting our friendship and existence atop the Arc de Triomphe. Now isolated, with re-cure looming, I journey nightly in my mind to the River Seine, Rodin’s gardens, Monet’s drinking water lilies. Nancy’s present lingers. — Lisa J. Smart
