Cancer

I've known for a few months that my mom is dying of lung cancer. She is a 4 hour drive from me.

I've been hitting the roads quite a bit lately...

and again tomorrow.

So far I've racked up a speeding ticket valued at 4

license points and quite a spin through the median 

courtesy of a rain-flooded road. 

Tomorrow morning I will stand before a judge

an hour from home begging a prayer for judgement

against me. It is my first ticketed offense

in 29 years of driving I think that should count

for something.

I left my Mother, or I should say, my mother

left me, 30 years ago after several

years of alcoholism and abuse.

Everything changed 4 months

ago with the word "cancer".

It has been bitter-sweet to say the least.

I've learned to forgive, and maybe...to accept.

She has learned to

love, and maybe...to grow.

As this crazy journey comes toward it's end

I want to ask you all to

please keep us in your prayers.

Ask for strength, patience and guidance on our behalf.
