My beautiful one is celebrating her 15th anniversary of being cancer-free later this year. At the end of her chemotherapy treatment I aired for her the Andante from the Beethoven String Quartet Op 132. Beethoven himself marked the piece: A Convalescent's Holy Song of Thankgsgiving... After the long and courageous road of such treatment Beethoven's music, filled with sunshine and calm, helped both of us to breathe deeply again. It still brings tears.
