A Homecoming Tale: Thomas's Return from War
Mary wrapped her shawl around her shoulders and made her way out onto the porch. She noticed some rustling of leaves just steps away from where she stood. But who screamed out? She turned and walked inside to make sure her children were safe. Mary looked over at the mattress on the floor where her children soundly slept. Neither her daughter or son had stirred. Her heart was pounding as she…
A Civil War Tale- Part 4
It was hard to believe that Thomas had been gone for close to a year. Thankfully, when he left, the crops had been planted and the rains had come. In July, she and her small children harvested the vegetables and wheat. Thomas had also planted tobacco for Mary to sell. She hated harvesting the sticky leaves, but knew that if it was a good crop, it would provide her with money she desperately…

A Civil War Tale- Part 3
The train jolted to a stop, causing Thomas to lunge forward. He sat up and stared out the window, unsure what he was watching unfold before him. Once again, he questioned the benefits of fighting in this Civil War. Men in tattered gray uniforms were everywhere. Some were injured, and barely able to stand. Tempers appeared short and he could see some pushing and shoving in the distance. As he…
What was it like for a Confederate soldier from Durham?
A Civil War Tale
Imagine, if you will, a farm in Durham County thick with acres of oak, hickory, and maple, bordering freshly tilled farmland. After years of hard work, life on the farm is just beginning to thrive. The young farmer has such dreams. But little does he know how the Civil War is getting ready to change everything. Perspiration trickles to the ground as Thomas lifts his axe and brings it down onto a…

Joy in the Unexpected
Just when I thought life would get back to normal, I was mistaken. After my surgery to have my thyroid and the cancer removed, I felt blessed to have a short recovery with very minimal complications. My lymph nodes are clear and all looks good on the horizon. A little less than a month after the surgery, Jay and I drove to Port Canaveral and boarded a ship that took us into eighty-degree…

Recovery
It’s a week out and I had no idea what condition I would be in once I left the hospital. As I reflect back on this experience, Jay and I have laughed as we will always refer to the night after surgery as the slumber party from hell. With only a large cubicle, there was no real privacy except for a curtain that separated us from the lights out in the hallway along with the shuffling of passing…

Finding Joy in the Unknown
5:30 am. Sleep has been interrupted by thoughts that come at me like water splashing over rocks in a rain drenched stream. December 15th has finally come. A day that has been on the calendar since September. A day that appeared so luminous from afar until now. A day that has abruptly found its way into my present. These last three months of living with a cancer diagnosis has taught me a lot…
To Be Chosen
Do you know what it feels like to be chosen? When I was a small child, I usually wasn’t chosen first, second, or even third. My small stature and being a girl typically put me in the back of the line for the games played during recess. As an adult, I worked hard as a special educator, but even so, was overlooked for the recognition that my colleagues received. So now, in my later life, I have…
Blessings
Yesterday, I went to my preoperational evaluation to determine if I am well enough for surgery. I was interviewed by a nurse practitioner who was extremely attentive. Once again, I feel blessed to live in the City of Medicine! Duke University Medical Center has not only met my expectations but exceeded them! It is interesting to think back to 1924 when James Buchanan Duke placed forty million…
