It's Going to Be Okay, Part II Six years ago, the day after learning I needed a double mastectomy, I took a solitary walk on a beach at sunrise. I was a wreck, but then something amazing happened.

When I finished my walk and headed back in the same direction, I fully expected the heron to be gone. But no, JUST LIKE SIX YEARS AGO, as I was leaving I saw that it had found some fishermen to hang out with.
