Anger management

Cancer -
I'm mad at you!
I haven't been to Fort Worth,
I love Fort Worth! I miss it!
I haven't been to a Texas Tech football game,
I love tailgating! I miss it!
I haven't been to a new movie,
To watch a movie, I've got to go to Amarillo,
I haven't been able to go to Amarillo for fun, I go only to deal with you!


I am angry and mad!

I miss little things that I took for granted - like putting my hair in a ponytail when I didn't want to fix it.
I miss flipping my wet hair and wrapping it in a towel after a shower!
I miss a glass of wine tasting good - too good.
In fact, I miss food tasting good - or even sounding good!
I miss having pajamas on for the fun of it, not because getting dressed took a lot of energy.
I miss going places and no one felt bad for me.
I miss just being a face that smiled back at people, and I didn't worry if my wig was crooked.
I miss my patience. I miss being carefree, and not wondering when this will be over, or what I have waiting for me each month.

I hate you cancer!

  1. I love you, and although I wish you were not going through this, I do not feel sorry for you when I look at you. I still see Michelle, the artsy-fartsy, free spirit that thinks outside of the box and finds joy in things most people never notice. You are still that person, perhaps even more so if your wig is a little crooked! :) It's okay to hate cancer, but never doubt who you are!! Love you bunches...
