What’s the most delicious thing you’ve ever eaten?
Wow, what a loaded question, it could go south pretty quick but I’ll keep it clean. The answer is CHOCOLATE! From the very first memory of letting it melt on my tongue as a child to my last bite of a plain Hershey bar (last night), it was an is the most delicious thing I’ve ever eaten. So that’s the literal answer to the question.
The metaphorical answer? The most delicious thing is what I experienced just a few minutes ago when my oncologist let me know that my latest scan results came back noting there is NO METASTASES in my spine! Whew! I’ve been using my google PhD to look up all the horrible things that could have come with that. It was especially poignant because my mom’s breast cancer metastasized to her bones and I’ve had almost everything she’s had. Ah my strong, warrior, beloved mother.
I don’t know how to describe this feeling, relief? Bliss? Renewal? Gratitude? Yep, all those things and more. I’ll let them to wash over me and allow all of my metaphorical taste buds to delight in such sweet deliciousness.
