Hello Fellow Travelers!
I know my son is in a difficult grade (7th) and he needs to write his first essay about something he knows but did it have to be the events leading up to and including the discovery of my brain tumor? Honestly, it really bothers me to hear he and his dad revisit some of the bizarre benchmarks on my journey and my son's reaction to them. It is a little unusual, I admit (I hope it's weird) to have a mom-with-a-brain-tumor, but to hear him tell it, I should have had a clue something was up years ago.
Something wicked this way came (Ray Bradbury), (and went) and I hope it doesn't come this way again! I can't stand to hear about the genesis of the cancer from anyone's point of view not even my own. I'm feeling guilt as a mother, guilt as a wife, amazement at everything I've survived, surprise at how great I feel sometimes. So I guess there is nothing that should prevent my son from using my horrible personal pain to hopefully get a decent grade in Language Arts (English for us older folks).
I don't have to help him, do I?
