One night, while playing mahjong at Topher and Sam's house in Katipunan, our friend Gots said the most enlightening statement ever -- that mother-in-laws are not evil, they are simply not our mothers.
I never thought I'll ever write about cancer. My earliest memory of it is my Tita Bessie, my mom's eldest sister, who was very sick when I was in kindergarten. I didn't know it was cancer until I was in grade school. I can't seem to understand what it was. I just knew she was sick. A few months later, she passed away. It was a blurry memory. I was a kid and I didn't feel the pain of losing a relative. I still didn't know that feeling. Tita Bessie taught me that losing a family member is a sad thing. I didn't know her pain as well.
Late in 2012, my friend Faye was diagnosed with Stage 1 cancer. In February 2013, she had a total hysterectomy. She had her entire reproductive system taken out. She is a survivor. A very brave woman that I will always look up to. You can read her story here.
So my friend, Addie is that one person who blogs a lot. I love what she writes and follows her posts. She has this one section in her blog BETWIXT AND BETWEEN called Thought Questions. Today, I am picking it up from her and answering my first ever question.
I am a mommy blogger wannabe. I write about my adventures and misadventures as a wife to Jeff and a mother to Taglet. I am a freelancer who works from home because I am exclusively breastfeeding my son.
