My Mikey, I love you

Before I start in on "What cancer is", I need to apologize to Mikey for all of us in here.  Yesterday, we got some bad news, and we didn’t handle it well, which hurt Mikey.

For that, darling, we are sorry.  It is not your fault that I’m hurting, baby.  It really isn’t one little bit your fault.  I love you, and I hope you know that.

WHAT CANCER IS…..

Cancer is a thief.  It robs people of health, and it robs the ones who love them of a sense of permanence, because cancer kills and kills and kills.

Cancer is a murderer.  Because of the last sentence above.

Cancer is a coward, because it strikes at random, and generally with no warning.  There is no REASON for it, sometimes.  Those who ASK for cancer, like me, don’t get it while those who don’t ask for it….it fucking eats them alive.

And it’s a non-sympathetic bastard, because it’s not here to help those of us who survive what it does!  IT KILLS PEOPLE WE LOVE, and we just have to fucking fall apart.

Cancer is the object of my wrath.  If it were possible, I’d eradicate the nasty disease.  I hate it with a passion, and it keeps striking those I love.

Cancer is a teacher.  It has taught me that nothing is guaranteed, even life.  But what a nasty, hateful teacher it is.

Now, cancer is eating up Gladys.  She has been in my family’s lives for over 20 years, and she’s dying now.

From cancer.

Just like so many others.

So I’ll just keep smoking until I can’t breathe anymore.  I’ll just keep eating and drinking whatever I want, because NOTHING IS FUCKING SAFE ANYMORE!!!!

FUCK YOU, CANCER!
