Where have I been?

I know you are all frantic about the fact I haven't posted in two weeks. When a cancer blogger stops posting...well.....minds wander.

The fact is, my mother died. She passed away on December 31st.

I hadn't seen her in a couple of years, and we have only spoken a couple of times since I began this blog. My mother had her own health issues, as I had mine. I won't eulogize her in this space, but I will say this: my mother was proud of this blog and the writing I've done here, and knowing that, I have had a little trouble composing my first post since her death. Writing about a torn rotator cuff seems a little trivial at this point in time.

However, in truth, life goes on, as it will when I pass too.

Mom, I hope that you don't mind that I continue this blog as I always have.

Of course, being my mom, you know I'll do what I want anyway.

    Thanks for the update. Sure sorry to hear about your mom's passing. A torn rotator cuff? Really? Is that the issue with your shoulder? You just aren't catching any breaks are you!!

    How awful! How absolutely horrible. I wouldn't be able to write either, if my mother had died. I'm so sorry. -Megan-

    Oh, Ann, I'm so sorry to hear that. What a lousy way to begin a new year, and one you had such designs on dominating.

    And I won't even mention that I was in Folsom from the 14th to the 18th and totally forgot to let you know. Feel free to call me names.

    I'm sorry for your loss, Ann. I bet your mom is still reading the blog though. ;)
