Because I just need to vent tonight to people who will appreciate it
My youngest daughter is getting ready to move out of town to her new job, and my mom would have absolutely LOVED to have helped her shop for clothes, decorate her new place, and help her plan the wedding we think might not be too far down the road.
Except mom is gone because of a highly aggressive brain cancer and won't be able to do any of those things, nor will my daughter get to have her beloved grandma help her do them.
Fuck cancer in every conceivable hole, and create some new ones and fuck it there too.
Thanks for listening.

Hey, I hear you. Like really, truly hear you.
This sucks in every possible way, and I’m so damn sorry you're going through it. Losing your mom to something as brutal and unfair as brain cancer? And now all these big moments with your daughter just bring that ache back even stronger? Yeah, it’s not just grief—it’s like getting gut-punched again and again when you should be smiling and celebrating.
It’s not just about missing her. It’s about everything she would’ve done. The way she would’ve lit up at Target picking out throw pillows or cried happy tears in the wedding aisle. That presence, that joy, that love—just ripped away. It’s not fair. It never will be.
And you know what? You get to be angry. You get to scream into the void. Because this isn’t just sadness—it’s rage too. Fuck cancer. Seriously. Loudly. Repeatedly.
I’m glad you posted. Sometimes just getting the words out is all we can do, and you’re not alone here. We’re listening, and we get it.
Sending you so much love right now. Just... all of it.
