I'm mad. I'm angry. I'm pissed off.
Cancer is so strange. I don't understand it. I don't know why it exists or why is chooses the people it chooses or why it goes away or why it leaves families broken or why it leaves — I don't understand it.

Yes, she does. She writes her way through it like I used to do. I am fortunate to call her friend.
I'm ok. It is day by day. Father's Day is actually harder for me, and of course that comes right behind it. There are so many reminders that it is hard to get away from it. I think I would have to go into hiding and not turn on TV or go online to escape it.
I am also fortunate to call you friend as well. Thank you for always being so supportive. Just knowing you are there makes it easier.

Wonderful piece.
So for now, I wait… patiently. Maybe understanding will come. I’m battle weary. But I will put the armor back on if that’s what is needed, I will grab the facade and place it back in place if that’s what is needed, I will fight… if that’s what is needed.
This is my attitude as well. It is a battle every day for my dad and so many others. Thank you for posting this Mary, and I'm sorry for the loss of your dad.

Becky is an awesome writer. We became friends on Twitter. I knew there would be people here who would benefit from her writing as I have.
