But, I'm glad you go every year... and I had no idea cancer centers do that--I need to look into that. <br /><br />I think you need a hug. *hugs*Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11548668695738571576noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3588286618702079946.post-7842296580733827452010-10-14T13:32:40.945-07:002010-10-14T13:32:40.945-07:00Sometimes you do say the nicest things =)Sometimes you do say the nicest things =)asuqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478950013985706858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3588286618702079946.post-86187829701743903902010-10-12T14:33:09.111-07:002010-10-12T14:33:09.111-07:00Even when you tell the truth, you make it sound li...Even when you tell the truth, you make it sound like a story I am hearing by the fireside. Who were you in a previous incarnation, I wonder?<br /><br />Re: frying eggplant: That is exactly what I am doing wrong! I only put in a bit of olive oil! And it soaks it right up, like a sponge. Thank you. I'll try that, probably this week.R.S.

I remember everyone crying that year. The grown-ups were sort of defenseless and I think it shaped them, especially my father who lost all other males in his family. I recognize the age-thing you mention so well, my father is a pretty jolly person, always close to laughter and jokes, but that year, when he was as old as his father was when he died, he thought a lot. And then my mother got breast cancer. I remember thinking it was worst for my dad. I had a baby and I was devastated and in the middle of life all at once. I breast-fed both my children for a year. She´s well now, my mother, but I never stop worrying. And we haven´t gotten any better at dealing with it, we´re skinless people, maybe everyone is. I´m so sorry for your loss. I have nightmares about dying from my children. And cancer - I´d erase it if I could. I can´t be normal in the face of it, it´s too real and too terrifying.<br /><br />The eggplant: you need to put too much olive oil on it, more than you think and then some. It´s the only way, it´s not for diety people, but it´s good =)asuqihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05478950013985706858noreply@blogger.com
