No News is Good News

I have had such uneasy feelings lately, and now my chest is heavy.  I am feeling short of breathe.  I forgot what I was doing.  Was I supposed to do something?  I can't think.  My mind is jumbled with tension and a whole lot of emptiness.  The room is spinning... did she really just tell me what I think I heard?  Cancer?  But why?  How?  This is not the kind of news a daughter wants to hear.  Not the kind of news this daughter can handle.  I am only 31, she is only 48.  She is way too young for this for sure.  But they say there is a cure?  I guess we will have to wait and see.  I have to stay positive for my Mommy.
