I'm sure you're correct in thinking ...Dad,<br /><br />I'm sure you're correct in thinking I would have loved the Dumpstaphunk show. As you know, the New Orleans vein of funk is a uniquely potent elixir for me. Evidence of healing power for sure!<br /><br />Glad you dug the show.Milesnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-78591973722034843582010-07-11T10:18:36.899-04:002010-07-11T10:18:36.899-04:00Thank you Elisabeth, and yes, I am cheered.

Any time I hear of anyone's survival, even if only temporary, over circumstances that evoke our mortality and vulnerability as strongly as serious health scares, whether from illness or accident or war etc. I feel overwhelmingly grateful for that person and for myself. More so as I get older naturally, and face more of them personally.Lallyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05310472614196384595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4567168789336947243.post-46970618641870468572010-07-11T06:27:56.315-04:002010-07-11T06:27:56.315-04:00Hi Michael

I thought of you after I had presented a paper at a conference alongside a woman who also suffered a brain tumour many years ago. Her name is Viv Martin and she lives and works in Bristol in the UK. <br /><br />I told her about your blog she may visit, though I doubt she blogs much. Still her story is one of great hope. <br /><br />Viv discovered her tumour when her children, now adults, were all very small. <br /><br />I thought I'd pass her story on. Now Viv works in exploring narratives with others who suffer major illness. <br /><br />It's not the only defining identity you have. To me you're a father, writer and poet first and foremost but I thought you might be cheered to hear of another success story.Elisabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04015624747225433940noreply@blogger.com
