SEAL training would be a cake walk after Catholic school. Steve Hah! Mary did 12 years of Catholic school. That can create obedient subjects or build character. She was a quiet, gentle, generous moral person of integrity who was impossible to intimidate and if wronged or ****ed was quite capable of creative and effective reciprocity. Going with the SEAL reference, when she was being ravaged by an incurable disease there was no way she would ring the bell. She stayed the course with a positive attitude, happy heart and happy mind. "Happy heart and mind" were her words, not mine. Her attitude was immediately obvious and somewhat amazing to her care providors. When I've read about people's "courageous fight" I always wondered what that meant. How does one "courageously fight" a terminal disease that's gonna eventually kill ya no matter what you do. Now I understand. The courageously afflicted eventually die of their disease, but they refuse to be defeated by it. Now that I think about it, I guess we made that journey together as a small team. My attitude was always positive too. Perhaps we enabled each other. There was never a minute of gloomy foreboding. We even discussed her eventual funeral on one of the rides down to Mayo, but it was like an abstraction that wasn't going to happen anytime soon, and there was humor in the exchange. I had no idea that it would happen so shortly after that conversation. If she did, she concealed it well. |
