Whether it's claimed a person from my GI support group at the hospital or someone I only knew from an online distance, it's always at the periphery, milling around, clearing its throat, ensuring that I don't forget.

Pretend to Care
- Sugarmouth O'Riordan
- When my husband was in the military and would go on his six month deployments, people would be all "Oh, you're so strong, I don't know how you do it, blahblah compassionate noisescakes." The thing is, there is no choice. You put your head down and grind it out and one day you wake up and your life is back to normal. In December 2007, they found a mass in my rectum. This is My Cancer Deployment.

Yes its always lurking in the background. Once diagnosed, it seems to be a little closer... Too close for comfort.
Someone way more philosophically mature than me once said that we should all live as though we are already dead, as that enhances the realness of each moment we spend on earth. I am not sure how to do that, especially with kids, but there you have it. Though sad, we are all here for an unknowable and brief length of time.
I miss many people that are now gone, too.
