the end of this blog is the beginning.
and i am learning each day that there is no end.
blame is a slippery thing. i blame nicotine. mom blamed herself and her "distaste for doctors in anything other than a social setting." cancer is incredibly beatable. some is preventable. some is not.
hedge your bets.
 if you smoke...try to quit. it's really hard. the tobacco industry has designed it that way. wear sunscreen. eat vegetables. see your doctor. mom quit smoking over seventeen years ago. early detection saves lives. it could have saved mummy.

she knew us better than we know ourselves and each other. she knew that i am not as strong as i pretend to be and that magee is stronger than anyone gives her credit for. she knew that all buzzy needed was an open door and unconditional love. she knew that maura's baby was a brilliant gift and that maura would be a remarkable mummy. and she fought with tooth and nail to see that baby. and she made it to missy's birthday.

we are all so different and so similar. we are all missy's children.

she was not perfect. she was delicious and mischievous and stubborn. she was ours. and we will always be hers.
