I pick up a rock. I walk to the water’s edge. let go of identifying myself as a cancer survivor. That phase of my life is over. I am no more a cancer survivor than I am a survivor of adolescence, of birthing, of working, of retirement, of life itself. It came. It went. It was a gift. I throw the rock far out into the waves, pick up my pack, and start for home.
