As Dr. Suess says...

I have heard there are troubles of more than one kind.
Some come from ahead and some come from behind.
But I've bought a big bat. I'm all ready you see.
Now my troubles are going to have troubles with me!
~Dr. Seuss

My mom has Cancer...again. Cancer. Again. One word can change the way you see everything. One word can make your heart skip a beat, make your stomach turn circles, and send your anxiety to new levels.

Tumors, biopsies, Cancer...Chapel Hill...Chemo...surgery...appointments...a fight. We are still waiting for her in-depth diagnosis. We are waiting for her plan. In short, we wait.

Our mother has always been a fighter; strong and courageous. But this battle she will not fight alone. We are with her through each step of the way. Any one of us would gladly take her cancer upon ourselves if it meant she would be safe, and well. But cancer doesn't work that way.

So sleep well momma, I'll bring the bat.

I love you, I love you, I love you.
