..is wonderful. I've read some of it before, but I never read 'Our Cancer Year'. Last night at Adam's we were hanging out with Sam, and I noticed it on his bookshelf. I knew it would be good, I've seen the movie, but I had no idea. I didn't get to read the whole thing, I skipped ahead a bit, but some of it really got to me. I couldn't help but compare it to what my father must have gone through. One particular part was when he was reacting badly to the chemotherapy. I remember how sick my dad was, and all I could think was, 'I hope he didn't have to go through all this, just to lose in the end'.. I didn't let anyone see me upset, but you'd have to be blind not to notice. I wasn't sad, more angry than anything. Life fucks us all, some more than others, but he didn't deserve that.
'Hug the sun, and give that moon a kiss..
and laugh about this divine comedy as if
it was a 'nana peel slip that broke both your wrists..
and realize nobody really has a grip..'
