I try really hard not to use the word suck as slang, but melanoma defines the word "suck". So I reserve it for just this topic. I've found some support amongst some other cyber widows, and have found a few very good places to share my grief. As strange as this feeling is, I realize unfortunately that there are many, many other widows/widowers out there. And as unfamiliar as my feelings are, they are normal, just not normal for me. So I took the advice of a few other bloggers and decided to get some of Brian's things back out. I have them in special places, just little reminders of him. I have also starting wearing his t-shirts to bed. That in turn got Tye to wanting to wear one of Daddy's shirts, so his most recent one was a Hounds football shirt. Tye thinks it pretty funny how big Daddy's shirts are, but he sure doesn't miss a beat when it is time to get ready for bed and crawl into one of them. My personal favorite is one I've enjoyed wearing, his MELANOMA SUCKS shirt. I decided I would wear it when I feel angry at melanoma, and this week is one of those weeks. There was a benefit last weekend for a woman in Maryville who is battling melanoma. A very close friend of mine lost her sister-in-law on Wednesday to melanoma. And then check this out...
Yep, it is melanoma. I took the pictures from a melanoma blogger who just found out the beast has spread to the brain. God, can't someone stop this madness?
