Mothers

so, it's official.  my mom has breast cancer.  wow.  it's hard to believe.  i just got off the phone with my grandmother so i could get less, well, filtered information.  she's having a masectomy.  they'll also check out the other breast and the lymph nodes.  then she'll have to do chemo.  the last part is where i really get upset.  chemo is one of the most unpleasant things we do to people and it's ashame we haven't found a better way to stop cancer.

who knows what her prognosis is.  i really have no idea.  people survive, people don't survive.  all i know is, i'm more upset for my 2 yr old nephew than for myself.  i had 31 years with this woman.  he may never remember her, and that's a crime.  should i pray? why not.  it can't hurt. i knew this day would come eventually, i just never quite thought it would be this.
