Okay Sweetheart, here I am.......Sent you here and I've only now arrived....ha

I'm not private. I'll answer ANY question you have. I choose not to burden you with my situation nor do I choose to force my views on you, my lovely daughter, or anyone else around me. One of the absolute worst things in life is to be introduced to a reformed alcoholic or a newly born again Christian.....No offense intended for either please. You can just be totally unbearable in your crusades.

Cancer is a personal thing to some degree. It's something you have to learn to deal with on a personal level. It's traumatic, it reminds you of your mortality or in my case makes you realize it, it does a lot of things to your mind, some of which are impossible to share.

It's very difficult to explain. I've always thought I had a better than average command of the language and written word, but there's a lot about the emotion of cancer that escapes that. I don't know that I can properly or efficiently ennunciate what a person goes through, once diagnosed.

I'm gonna stop right here. I'm getting hungry and the night is wearing on. Love and compassion to all who have the patience to read this.
