Today...

would have been my step-dad's 49th birthday.

You know, I thought it would be insanely hard - that I'd have a hard time getting through the day. But, it wasn't bad at all. Yes, I'd thought of him a few times, and cried once twice.

Day by day, it is getting better. Very slowly, but surely.

It's true. I never believed that statement either, until I lost a couple of friends to cancer when I was in high school. After that, it seemed like it was neverending. :( I lost my godmother a few years ago to lung cancer, and she'd never smoked a day in her life. She was the closest thing I'd ever had to a grandmother, and I was devastated when she passed away.

And now to lose my dad, it's just so heartbreaking. :( And my mom had uterine cancer last year, but fortunately hers was caught early enough that they could operate and she hasn't had it since.

I'd known *of* people that had cancer in one shape or form - but when it's someone close to you, that's when it really hits hard.

I'm glad that your mom has been cancer-free - that is probably a relief in your mind.

I'm glad too. I don't think I'd have been able to handle losing both parents. :(
