it comes to this

this is a hard post to begin.

my mom has breast cancer again.

last time all it required was surgery. and it seemed like that was that. no big deal.

adam asked dad, since i was asking him and caryn...because christy came over and asked how i was doing since my mom had cancer again. and i said "what the crap? no she doesn't. i would think i'd have heard something like that." adam and caryn both said they hadn't heard anything like that and they were sure someone would've told them too.

and just now i was talking online with adam and he told me what i'd heard was right. for some reason mom hasn't told us kids, but she did tell dad. mom's been having chemo and radiation treatments. and she and mark have cancelled their trip to virginia -- something else i didn't know about.

my grandmother (maternal) died at the age of 46 from breast cancer.


i feel like i've already gone through the parent-child shift with her. due to the dynamics of the situation with her in the past year and a half or so...i don't know. i don't feel like a little kid anymore. i don't look up to her for what i need. instead, i feel like i'm dancing around, protecting, saying the right things and doing the right things and not saying or doing the wrong things. like she's this fragile piece of glass that must be handled with extreme care.






yeah.

I'll be praying for your mom, you and your family. I'm sorry you have to go through this. I know what it's like to see your mom suffer, it's no fun. Let me know if there is anything I can do, Suzin.
