You are not your scars.
This is important to share for those going through mastectomy or those recovering from it.

Love
I am speaking of the love of another, after an online conversation regarding what obsessiveness love is. I want to leave this here so I will not forget. (even though I wrote it....it's like that some days.
I often wish that I could just shake 15-25 year old's, and say, "You are not looking for love, you are not looking for that feeling in your pants, or that ever present thought, you are looking for your best friend. The one you could share ever day of your life with. When they are ugly, when you are ugly, when you are old, or hurt, or crying. You are looking for the person you can talk to about your every thought with. You are looking for the person who ignores your farts, and likes the same food as you. You are looking for someone who can help you grow, and who you can help grow.
Now go out...and find that.
I cannot begin to think of living through this without my partner/husband and best friend. It's not luck that leads you to your soul mate, it is the ability to work to find them.

Deep Thoughts
Do you ever wonder what people will say about you when you are gone?
April has been every ounce of cruelty promised in the poem below. I am watching out my window as the wind blows snow slightly to the west, bound and determined to snub the remaining tulips, daffodils, and hyacinth. My mood is as grim as the sky. In between surgeries. At a crossroads in my marriage. Buried in self doubt. Moored only by my son, drifting on a sea of grey, where there are days that even he drifts from me. .....
I think they will just say that I was a sad woman.
HURRY UP PLEASE ITS TIME
