So Tom and I are back together. Yay. That's great, but the main thing that I'm focused on is the fact that I'm scared that now yet another member of my family might have cancer, my aunt Maria. It figures that it's the people that I've been closest to that are the ones I have to worry about. Aunt Maria practically raised me, I had my own room, clothes, even dog at her house before my mom decided I couldn't see my family anymore. Not only that, but everyone in the family knows that my grandma and grandpa will both be passing away soon. I mean, come on my grandma has a brain tumor and my grandpa has cancer. They are the ones who make sure that the entire Limon family gets together every Christmas. That's the only reason Christmas is my favorite holiday, because of the family. It's also a pretty sure thing that once they go the only one anyone really expects to take up the reigns and keep the tradition of Christmas is my Aunt Maria. It used to be between her and Aunt Stephie but then Aunt Stephie got cancer and now she just talks about how she hopes to make it to 50, which she isn't too far away from. So, while I am happy that Tom and I are back together, I can't say that I'm the happiest kid on the block... I'm scared. Either my Aunt Maria or my Grandma should let me know if it is cancer or not (my Aunt found lumps on her chest) by tomorrow or the next day. I just hope it isn't. It's hard enough being scared about three people that mean the most to me. If I were religious I'd pray, but the most I feel true about is hope.
