Brant's assignment in English was to take a sheet of newspaper and black out all words except the words that he could use to create a poem. Brant received a 98 on this assignment. Here is his poem:
No End In Sight
Lost
With two months to live
Stage 4 Cancer
Destroying quality of life
Livlihood affected
Situation doesn't change
Alive this month
His teacher made the following comments on his poetry rubric:
There is so much heart in this, Brant. I can't even imagine what you go through on a daily basis. It must be incredibly consuming. My thoughts are with your family. You're a strong guy. Let me know if you need anything!
Well written Brant. Keep writing to express your feelings. I have found that writing has been a form of therapy for me during our adventure with GBM. I have been reluctant to blog recently, but find strength in following yours. Just knowing others are going through similar experiences helps. Our prayers are with your family!
