halloween

as mom prepares for surgery on halloween, i hope that we come to look at the holiday in two ways.

1. the way we always have, as mike's over-the-top-favorite day of the year.

2. as the day mom fought breast cancer and won.

as my sister said in the last post, we're thinking about her and praying.

i'll play it by ear on a visit this week. she said she didn't want me to come monday, so i'm staying and shuttling syd to halloween events.

but i want to be there however i can.
