Why I'm Here

In November, my mother found out she had Lung Cancer... In December, after a PET scan we learned that the cancer had metasticized to her bones classing it as Stage IV. As I have tried to deal with this blow (as well as other complexities of life right now), I've needed a place to verbally process through what is going right now. At first I wrote in my journal (You'll see those initial entries following this one). As I would write, I thought to myself about how much I needed to hear that other people felt similar things... I thought that perhaps I wasn't the only one who needed that. And so I've decided to write a blog. Maybe... somehow, somebody out there will find these strings of thoughts and be able to relate. I hope it will bring others comfort to know that they aren't alone in their feelings.
