yuck

Cancer is reaching out its tendrils and grabbing people all around. A mom from the homeschool group has been fighting it since before I met her when she joined a playgroup I was in. Several other members of the homeschool group bring us updates from still other people with cancer. Wander tells me about his co-workers and adventure friends suffering from cancer. A friend from my quilting bee recently was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery earlier this week. Yuck. Yuck. Yuck. I hate it. And why are so many of the victims mothers, and mothers with young children? I just can't deal with it as graciously as the ladies around me.
