Acquiescence

I am not inclined to acceptance – every matter is subject to rigorous interrogation, careful consideration, and must prove robust, meticulous, and sensible before I accept it. Yet when I received the diagnosis of breast cancer on 6 August 2021, just shy of my 50th birthday – I acquiesced. No devastated falling in a heap, no gut wrenching cry of “Why me?”, no tears of fear, no dread of being reaped from this life untimeously.
