We return to the Cancer Treatment Center by flight the last couple of trips. It has been just my mom and I, followed by the usual rounds of chemo and doctor chats, to a rather rainy, uneasy turbulence ride departures, both from Atlanta to Louisiana. Not quite the beginning of spring we had in mind. We were banking on three…
I’ve been through a lot, but I always try to keep myself in-check with a load of gratitude from above. So many families experience trauma in ways I could never imagine.
