The beginning of Mom's cancer journey turned my world upside down. The weekend after her abnormal scan brought all of the siblings together, several from out of town. Every weekend following felt like a holiday in those early days, when hopes were high that the right smoothie, sauna, or supplement would change the game and shrink the cancer. Mom's weight loss made her happy, and she still functioned fairly well.
Those were strangely golden days, fast and slow simultaneously. I still feel them in the chill of fall. Brilliant blue skies and bright yellow leaves wrap me in melancholy and call forth my tears.
