Momma Love

I guess I had to put that picture up to

add some humor to the crap I'm dealing with.

I haven't addressed it on here before.

Guess I have to, it's my life.

My Mom was diagnosed with breast cancer

almost 4 and half years ago.  She survived.

She did chemo and radiation and I was there

to shave her head, cheer her on, and watch her

kick it.

Cancer does a number on people.

Changes them, yes it does.

Well dang it, it came back.

End of January, I got the call from my Dad,

the pain she had been having for over a year

was due to it metastasizing in her bones.

Her upper back to be specific.

I hate cancer.

I know we aren't supposed to use that word.

But I do.

I hate what cancer does to my Mom.

It makes her weak and tired and not

able to be with me and my family.

I hate how it wreaks havoc on her body.

I know she is in good hands, but
I break down when I hear news that

she is in pain....pain so bad you" get admitted

into the hospital", kind of pain.

Cuz, I dealt with pain for 5 short weeks and 

it was a living hell.  I don't know how this

woman has put up with it like she has, for so long.

So, here is her Caring Bridge site.

I built one cuz so many people love her

and I cannot keep up with the calls/emails/texts.

I know she is loved, but you see-- it gets hard

for me to tell the details over and over.

Mainly cuz it makes it so I don't let them

sink in....I guess I should let the details marinate.

She also has a blog and has written about it

much more eloquently than I ever could.

So there you go.

Enough of that shizz.....
