The mother of one of my closest friends is having brain surgery today. Doctors found a mass that they believe is a glioma, otherwise known as brain cancer. Completely out of the blue here comes doom. I’ve known this woman most of my life and spent many many evenings in her home while in high school. She has always treated me like a daughter and I love her like a mother. Sandy is one of the most generous and positive people I know. I can only imagine how terrified she must be feeling right now, but knowing Sandy, she’s cracking jokes and roasting the doctors and nurses. I hope that this brain tumor business is only a small setback and that Sandy will be back on her feet in no time at all.
Life is short people. This woman is 60, but I remember, just like it was yesterday, the nights I would spend in her home as a teenager. Time moves like lightning. Quick and in a flash. You blink and twenty years have passed. Say I love you, often. If you can’t say it, show it. Hug. Email. Call. Whatever you have to do. Do what you love and live your dreams, but be sure to remember the important people along the way.
