My mom had a cancerous tumor removed yesterday. It was, as these things go, a minor deal - a melanoma "in situ", meaning it was just in that spot, nothing extending elsewhere, not even all the layers of skin - but is cancer ever a minor deal, really? And, to pound it home even more firmly, I just read a post about another blogger's mom's cancer, and now I'm getting pretty upset about it all. I mean, I can't even go be with her right now, because we're hundreds of miles apart. She's planning to come visit for Christmas, but I'd like to be with her now, sharing Lina's toothless laughter in person and helping with her recovery.
I think I'll start keeping enough room on a credit card for an emergency train trip.

I hope all is well with your mother. Go if you need to. I have to see my mom at least weekly or I go crazy!

that sounds like a very good idea, k8. Wish I could do the same...
I'm so sorry to hear this. I hope she is doing okay.
