We took the kids out today to do some things; just to get out of the house. On the way home I had planned a surprise trip to the ice cream shop that has opened again. Kevin obliged, but got really crabby. We got there and he refused to eat a cone. The kids choked theirs down feeling guilty with every bite because ice cream was always dad's favorite. Now he can't taste it, so why bother. On the way home he made no bones about how angry he was about the situation, furthering the guilt. I hate this...something as simple as an ice cream cone is lost to cancer. Just so wrong. I know to many of us that eating, period, is a thing of the past, and I by no means want to sound ignorant to that, I'm just venting....PET on Tuesday....
