adiva_calandiaToday is the fifteenth anniversary of my mother's bone marrow transplant, though it won't be afternoon in Seattle for some time yet. It's a cold day here in Galicia, with the wind blowng in great gusts and the rain coming down like bullets, and all the peregrinos are bundled up. We all look like humpbacked Brian Froud creations with our billowing, belling ponchos draped over our backpacks.
And out in the rain, with her poncho blowing and her stick in hand, toiling up the hills, is my mother. Fifteen years out and still going.
