no quotes or anything today. i got some terribly upsetting news this morning. a very dear friend and wonderful woman who is close to my heart has lost her mother to cancer. this is the second death of a friend of mine in the last 5 weeks, and if i were to go back 5 months...well, i've lost count. as you may remember from a previous post, i'll be walking the susan g. komen in september. i'm having t-shirts made up with everyone's name on it--those who have lived through this goddamn muck, and those who didn't. i had to get multiple t-shirts to fit all the names. it's a small, maybe stupid thing, but if you know someone (who doesn't?) who's been through it, send me his/her name and i'll pay tribute the only way i know how. i remember my gal Tricia swam for a cancer charity thing and wrote my name and her gramma's name on the back of her calves. i'm choked up just typing it and this was years ago. where the hell did i put that picture? i'm not sure Trish understood how much that meant to me. anyway, Crazy Hair Mama, if you're reading- you really got me that time.
take a look around, folks. we're all in it together at the end of the day.
thanks for reading.
