Life.Love.Cancer – Part III
I wished for you today, Butterfly Temptress
There is so much more to The Butterfly Temptress than cancer, but it’s clearly a main theme of her daily life. If you’ve kept up with Part II and Part I of the series, Life. Love. Cancer on the EdenFantasys.com blog, then your ready for Part III.

Here is an excerpt from Part III – please go to the original site to read it in its entirety:
My body had betrayed me. That was what I felt. Instead of working through it, I began to feel sorry for myself. I got out of bed long enough to do the basics, like see the kids off to school and fix dinner. I had no desire to do anything other than that, so I didn’t.
The turning point came only after the diagnosis was made. They had started chemo and radiation and over time the bleeding slowed. Thanks to injections and specific dietary guidelines I was able to regain some energy. I was fat but at least I was able to function a little better than before.
I knew we were on the right path when one afternoon before my husband got home I took a shower and did my make-up. When I met him at the door with a hug and a kiss, no doubt he wondered what I’d done with his wife. Instead of asking, he took me to bed.
From then on we were at it like two teenagers. Quickies in the bathroom. Anal in the shower. A quickie in the office on the floor, then a long slow session before we went to bed. There were weekends when our kids were gone that we didn’t leave our bed. We made love, slept, then woke up and did it all again.
There was an urgency to our lovemaking that had never existed before. I wanted to fit as many positions and experimentations into every second. Memories of a million lives squeezed into one.
I inevitably end up in tears after reading her writing, yet I also feel inspired to live life to the fullest every day. I now it’s trite, but it’s trite for a reason – because people who die (as we all do) teach us that lesson again and again – live while you can live, love while you can love, and squeeze a million lives into one, no matter how long that one is. Thanks for the reminder, BT, to appreciate Love.
