Another Lesson from Life

Life's Lesson #1: Sometimes Life isn't fair! I recently got news that my mom has breast cancer. The irony is that only 6 weeks ago we celebrated the fact that her most recent scan showed her to be free of the colon cancer that had metastasized to her liver. Being free of Stage IV colon cancer was like a miracle! Now this. I'm grieving for her, I'm angry at Life and I'm pissed (and I know this is petty) because this is such a bad time for me to travel to be with her. My brothers can take her to the oncologist this week, but I've always been the one who was with her through surgery and cancer treatments. Last time this happened - when the colon cancer showed up in her liver - I was with her several weeks. I know I just need to take one day at a time and wait to see what the oncologist says later this week. But that leads to Life's Lesson #2: Waiting Sucks!
