In what ways has my body remembered what my mind has forgotten and vice versa?  I love this question. I often forget how good food actually is, like the taste. Chemo has stripped it from me. But my mind won’t forget. Won’t forget when Kai first seen me when I told her about my cancer, I won’t forget the chocolate chip cookies she made me. Won’t forget how those cookies tasted like life again.

You’re going to make me cry! I feel like the way we learned even just how to greet people, console people, build relationships with people is through food. And how we arent even sure where we got the knowledge to do so but unconciously learned watching others. I love how memories even when forgotten cannot be erased unless we stop doing things to envoke our memory! I hope the memories keep us close until we can be connected physically again!
