Chris and I were married on Saturday, surrounded by friends and members of both our families. It was a joyful day, marking the end of what has been a summer of difficult news and major life adjustments.
In July, Chris was diagnosed with cancer. He spent six weeks in hospital in all, mainly on account of a broken leg, an injury that came about as a direct result of the disease, though of course we did not know that when it happened.
He is now home, and concentrating his energies on his current writing project. His spirits remain high, his resilience remarkable, his sense of humour undiminished. We are relieved to have regained a passable version of what we think of as normality, and aim to keep things that way for as long as possible. We are doing the work we love, being together, and focusing on the positive.
