Now that almost 4 months have past since Luis was diagnosed,
I can use the words 'my son' and 'cancer' in the same sentence without flinching. When I tell someone about the cancer for the first time, it comes off very casual. Then I see the shock in their face and it's almost like I'm hearing it for the first time too. Sometimes when I sit back and really think about things, I realize how crazy my
life is.
I was just flipping through old pictures and I could feel my eyes burning. The last time my son was in the hospital was when he was in the NICU for a few days after my C-section. How could I even imagine that the next time would be for something so unexpected and horrible. It's really sad that this illness will always be a threat, even after treatment. In a way, the cancer robbed him of a normal life. I still can't believe it sometimes.
Sigh.............
