The Book of Light by Lucille Clifton

4.75

My nanay was diagnosed with stage 4 stomach cancer with a timeline the beginning of this year.  The earth beneath shaken. I shifted to being a full time caregiver. Everyday I tell her she is my world.  The gleam of hope is radiant, sometimes faint. On days the color of rain, I lean into community & books. In Feb, I read poetry of Lucille Clifton, swallowed too by cancer. Thankful for this gift @kifahshah @lifewithbianca 

My magical mama, with so little has made so much. Even now at 75 & sick, she is short on words but embodies so much poetry.
