A mommy-friend shared this on our board, something so relevant for this month of Breast Cancer Awareness. It made me think of a side I never had to, I only went to one of my mom's radiation treatments those many years ago when she battled breast cancer the first time, and yes, that time I had her purse. But I never thought of my Dad through all of those treatments, nor the chemo treatments and oncology appointments the few short years later when she battled it the second time. No other time, not at a wedding, funeral, reunion, or shopping did I ever see my Dad hold my mom's purse, but I can clearly see him in the sterile waiting room doing just so. Heaven forbid I myself shall face what I saw my mom go through, I at least know that I have already prepared John in purse-holding many times while shopping. If only there was a way to prepare in other ways.
