Sometimes Coppelia notices how tired he looks. Drawn. Thinner? Hard to say, he has always been very slim, but she can't help wondering - they told him five years maximum before the cancer returned. And return it certainly will. A really nasty type, fast-growing and vigorous. Though it seems the beast has been beaten for now, by radiotherapy he underwent last autumn, a routine biopsy arranged for July 29th will reveal any changes.
Yes, definitely more tired at times, but then he is 82, and his painful hip often interrupts his sleep.
How can the light in his eyes ever be extinguished?....yet she has seen that light fade, and a sickness drags at her heart.
Time with him.
Nothing else matters.
As long as there is light.
