He’s framed by the poppies Ms. Afton Bitton—Swan Valley’s own published author—planted before she died.

My mom in her mustard-yellow dress, clutching my baby brother like a psalm. My dad beside her in a red tie and borrowed certainty. My grandparents standing behind us—Grandma sheltering me under her wing like a sparrow that hadn’t quite landed. And Pastor Tom Justus at the end, mid-prayer, mid-performance, mid-something sacred. We were all being blessed. Or broken open. Maybe both. https://www.cancerisagift.org/blog/ghosts-of-birthdays-past monthly 0.5 2025-07-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/67e4ebc089e4504537c24ee0/a7e8e77d-9bce-4da4-8da9-387642cb69f6/cancer_is_a_gift_rachel_smak_39th_birthday_with_rectal_cancer_swan_valley_semi_crash_on_i-20 BLOG -
