I Was Never Embarrassed for My Mom

Personally, one thing I'm proud of is that I was never embarrassed for my mom throughout her experience with breast cancer. No matter how awful my mom looked, somehow it just wasn't embarrassing.

Okay...so the post surgery high has worn off!

Friday, September 19, 2008 Today I've had enough. Roll the calendar to B.C. (Before the BIG C!) or better yet, A.D. (After Deliverance from the BIG C!).
