I was walking with my son, holding hands in a beautiful, lush green, hilly field. We never spoke a word to each other. He looked to be about 2 years old, before the cancer. A good friend of mine was standing on the side. She is still alive but lived with us during his first year of life, as a witness, I believe. I remember thinking how happy I was to be with my son once again. The feeling has never left me.
