First time for everything or what, What, WHAT?

My Sainted Mother came to visit last night and Beautiful Wife got a phone call from Son at the same time. My my leaned over to me and said...

Are you ready?

"I hate that BW has to deal with this fucking cancer!" She even enunciated the K and the G...

I'm so sorry I haven't been blogging and didn't know about your family's ordeal.

I'll keep BW in my prayers.

Cancer will make even the most proper mother swear like a sailor, that's for sure.

Rambler - Indeed!

Marisol - Thanks!

Christie - Tell me about it!

Antipo - Sometimes, it is the only word that will do. :)

They do surprise at the oddest moments don't they?

Bob, I've been somewhat away from other blogs on my London visit. I just caught up with you - and I'm so so sorry you and the BW are going through this; again. (And all your beautiful daughters too.) You know where I'm at - or have been - though nothing like this. So you'll know how I feel for you all the more. It's sometimes as hard - or harder - to be the onlooker, I think. Here's a hand held out to you both across the pond. And to (appropriate) four letter words from unlikely sources...xxx

Bob -

Sorry to hear about BW's relapse. FWIW, I think you should be sainted along with your mother. Your love and support must make M that much stronger. Seems like we haven't kept up as much as we should have since HS - which is a shame, since M seems like a remarkable person whom J and I should know better. Anyway - just to let you know that you've got two more people thinking about you both, and hoping for the best.

If you need to (and can) step out some night to take a short mental break, just give a buzz or pop a line.

BTW - saw that KHam gave you a shout out not too long ago. Did you notice?
