Mommaries
Mommaries = Momma + Memories.
Linda Christine Gravelie Southerland is my mother, and she's a wonderful, incredible woman. On Tuesday, September 12, 2005 at 2AM, she was diagnosed as having cancer. Further testing revealed that she had lung cancer and it had metastasized to her brain, as well as possibly spreading to her liver and spine. A trip to the doctor because of a recurring headache is what led us to the cancer diagnosis - i was completely floored. Mom's 57, she quit smoking shortly before her 50th birthday - i thought that if you quit smoking *POOF!* you wouldn't get cancer. Wrong.
But i don't want to dwell on the bad news - i want to use this weblog to record the experiences we're going through right now, as well as treasured memories and anything else that comes up...
