So Gray Today
Ty and Gavin, July 2010 Gold is an appropriate awareness color for childhood cancer (shiny and new and triumphant), just as gray is a fitting awareness color for brain tumors. Gray matter (get it?), but even more so, the overwhelming feeling when thinking about brain tumors is quite gray. It’s all gloom because it’s all just goddamn awful. I’m glad it’s been cloudy, cold, rainy and gray because that’s exactly how I feel on this first day of Brain Cancer Awareness month. My memories of what I witnessed leaves me with a dark, colorless range of emotions. I can’t stop thinking of all the things, large and small, that occurred during my son’s far too short time here with us. For Mother’s day when Ty was two, Lou bought me a bike with a seat on back for Ty. Ty was so excited to show me in the morning. We went for a ride on the boardwalk but he ended up crying the entire time. He hated the bumps. What I didn’t know is that he hated riding with me because it was giving him a headache. T
AMAZING
ReplyDeleteJust wanted you to know that lots of prayers and good vibes are being sent your way this morning. I'll be anxiously awaiting the great news. Remember, try and stay away from the "what if's", deal with only what is. The rest you can't control. Ty is an incredible little boy that has dealt with way more than any child should. I feel him winning this battle once and for all:) Chin up and breathe.

ReplyDeleteYou don't know me--I am one of the thousands that read your blog and cry with you, laugh with you, worry and rejoice with you. One of the thousands whose lives have forever been changed by the strength and perseverance of a very brave little boy, the comic relief of his brother and the blinding unconditional love of their parents. I just want you to know that I am thinking about you all today. I think about you all everyday to be honest--but I'm especially thinking of you today. May the arms of the angels hold you tight.
