that love...
so if anyone is actually out there reading this, you may remember a few years ago that my mom is a cancer survivor - stage 4 ovarian cancer, diagnosed on 12/24/09. my rock star mom underwent 6 rounds of chemo, and a full hysterectomy and has been cancer free ever since. she's been not feeling quite right the last month or so, but after multiple rounds of bloodwork, ultrasounds and CT scans, we were finally given the all clear that cancer is not the cause of what's been going on. thank god. the phone call she made to my father to tell him the good news - "no lumps, no bumps - all clear", set my dad into tears. not just a few, but crying to the point of not being able to continue the conversation. my dad is not an emotional man, not by any stretch of the imagination. but the relief that was exuding from both of them was something to watch, and feel. i want that kind of love. the kind where someone can't bear the thought of living without you...
