So it must be the year of cancer as I just found out my Mom has been hit too. It's really small and her doctor said it's no big deal and it's skin cancer which our family has LOTS of experience with so it's going to be all good. I think I should go tanning or start smoking 3 packs a day or eat a ton of red meat or something just so I can join the party.
Black humor is pretty much the only way I'm going to be able to cope with all of this.
Christmas, though not canceled, looks like it may be completely different than originally planned. Which is fine by me! I might even go crazy and cook a small turkey. Or maybe some killer pork tenderloin. And then I'll eat it and love it. Not only am I blessed with a cancer-ridden family, I am blessed with a family that is chock full of acceptance. It definitely wasn't always easy and I was definitely, well, a challenge, but we got through and realized what is most important is love and acceptance. Pushing people away or being judgemental or trying to mold people into what you wish they were as opposed to who they are is not only hurtful it's ultimately harmful and counterproductive.
I really am unbelievably blessed.
Last night we watched "The Muppet Movie." Man, I love that movie. "Moving Right Along" is the bestest roadtrip song ever. And the humor is so adult friendly not in a stupid Pixar way but in a baudy "Hey it's the late 70s!" kind of way. I think we're going to try and get our hands on The Muppets Take Manhattan and The Great Muppet Caper (definitely the weakest of the 3).
A muppet filled Christmas might be the way to go.
