A Poem To Michael With Cancer

We are defined by many things in our lives. You're a good son. A great older brother. An eagle scout and crazy ass metal guitarist. A firebug and science nerd and my neighbor. I know cancer is devastating and destroys. Loved ones become targets for loose anger. There's only one ending. Life or death. Your victory is remaining Michael.

Thank You. Michael is coping better. 1 more (hopefully) week of intensive chemo and in a month a telling scan!
