Iâve told you all that I live in this remote gated community now. In my mind I like to think itâs a lot like the little English villages we see on TVâŠwell, maybe not MidsommerâŠlol. But, i do agree with Agatha Christie, that every âvillageâ is a microcosm of the world in general.
A few years ago, a couple moved here and built one of the most beautiful houses on the lake. Both husband and wife had had very successful careers and if this âvillageâ had a Prince and Princess, they would be it. In time, J and I became very good friends.
During the pandemic, J called one day to confide that she was an ovarian cancer survivor before moving here⊠and that her cancer had returned. She told me then EXACTLY how she wanted this handledâŠNO pity! I told her that I would never ask a questionâŠbut when she wanted to talk, I would be there for her. And that has worked well for us.
When the Pandemic fear subsided here and we all saw her againâŠshe had lost all her lovely hair. And, yes, there was tittering about it at first in the neighborhoodâŠBUTâŠand this is not just âkindnessâ talkingâŠshe looked BEAUTIFUL. She had her eyebrows stenciledâŠwore larger earringsâŠand just carried herself with such great confidence! Her loss of hair looked more like a fashion statement than a consequence of cancer.
The POW, like my friend, has stunning bone structure, facial features. They both have impeccable fashion sense. On one hand, I support the POW in doing whatever emotionally is best for herâŠbut my friend has been an incredible inspiration to all of us here âin the Bubbleâ, as we call it. Imagine what the POW could do! Imagine the courage and self-confidence other cancer patients might draw from her!
Unfortunately, my friend has now had another reoccurrence, another surgery , âŠand another short round of chemo. But somehow, in between, she continues to play golf, travel, entertain, and take a leadership role here in our little community. Weirdly, we sometimes forget the battle for her life that she is waging behind the scenes. No matter how and when her story ends, she has given us years of instruction in how to carry our own burdens and LIVE!
The POW is poised to do all thisâŠbut on a global level. There will always be haters and deranged SugarsâŠ.but unlike this egotistical airhead MâŠspouting word salad and racial victimizationâŠthe POW has an opportunity to show the world the exact oppositeâŠthat no, even CANCER cant make you a victim! While Markle is hell-bent in showing off her clothes, jewelry, material grift, I think the POW will âshow-offâ her strength and the solidarity of shared empathy and inspiration.
Markle is the role model for jealousy, anger and self-pity. She can twerk around certain countries of the world holding her racial pity partiesâŠbut the POW is poised to offer a message unconfined by race, gender, or ethnic background. Itâs a cruel calling but maybe the POW has been called to be a role model forâŠHUMAN strength, resilience, courageâŠ.the opposite of self-pity.
Think of the millions she can uplift! And I think she willâŠno matter how she handles the struggles of chemo and the loss of her hair. In a way, this is her momentâŠlike when, during the bombing of WWII, the King and Queen remained in London, and kept their children there with themâŠbonding with their subjects in an incredible and indestructible way!
Part of me hopes, when we see her again, that she embraces whatever the reality is. There are little children with cancer who must face their classmates cruel teasingâŠand here would be the POW saying, âBring it on, haters. This isnât Markleâs Hollywood fakery, this is real LifeâŠand your future Queen is strong enough to take it and yesâŠTHRIVE!â
STFU, Harry!
Matter of fact? Theyâre SO GOOD, I didnât even really pay attention to what she was saying!! Even if you view it with the volume off, itâs guaranteed to give you a laugh!!
