We’re flesh and blood
It’s been a while, eh?
I haven’t had a whole lot to write about, and it seems that not many people read these days anyway. Random pity-party moment of missing, then move on.
Anyway, it’s been over a year since my mother’s older sister Mary was diagnosed with a brain tumour. It’s been nearly a year since their oldest brother Don was diagnosed with cancer and it’s been 9 months since he passed away. Today I found out that my Aunt Mary’s middle daughter, Stacey (age 37-ish) needs a double mastectomy due to breast cancer.
Left to right: My cousin Ricky’s (Aunt Mary’s only son) wife Wendy, Shelly (Ricky and Stacey’s sister), Madeline (Shelly’s daughter), Stacey, Unknown, Aunt Mary.

Health is such an odd and seemingly fickle thing… 🙁

ryn-The whole reason I wrote that was because multiple friends of mine were outright telling me or writing on facebook about how they are tired of seeing things like what I wrote. When I tell them I have been on assistance and such they say that is different. I know plenty abuse the system but my argument was just because someone has a phone or a car doesnt make them abusers. It really boiled downto stereotyping and it really irked me to the point I had to write about it. Not sure why it was RC’d weeks after I wrote it. Sort of embarrassing in retrospect.

I’m sorry to read this, Lissy. Cancer seems so rampant…and is so freaking scary. 🙁
