There's a boy in my life, who pulls me in after the good part to hold me, and tolerates my breathing on his neck, and the crazy way my hair picks up in even the slightest breeze and tickles his face.

My favourite little cousin J has a brain tumour. It feels absolutely insane, typing those words out. Isn't life funny like that? I mean, the kid is 18.

But instead of rightfully worrying about whether the pain is prelude-to-heart-attack pain or too-much-pizza-before-bedtime heartburn pain, I am outraged. Life shouldn't be this unsubtle.

I've been having one of those scarily good stretches of time. Time like when the weather's good, your days are filled with exciting activities, and even the threat of impending work-related doom doesn't seem that bad. Most importantly for me though (and feel free to skip this bit if you're not, you know, me), it's that feeling of getting better, ( Read more... )

Here is a wound that never will heal, I know ( Read more... )
