An Update from Under the Bed

It's a bit dark and dusty here under the bed, but you know, I kind of like it. My husband tells me it's Wednesday today. Grrrreeeeaaat. Thanks honey. Less than 24 hours to go until I find out if I have breast cancer at 23! Woohoo!
It mildly scares me that my doctor had me make a surgery appointment BEFORE we officially find out what it is that has built itself a nice little home in my left breast.
Dear Daddy,Okay, I know you're up there somewhere, and you've probably gotten through the meet and greets with all the saints and apostles and the Big Cheese. I know you're charming, and have a real way with getting what you want, so could you please... maybe... see if you can arrange a little miracle? Just make it go away. Or make it something they can chop out, remove, and I'll never have to worry about it again.
I miss you horribly and I love you so much, but I would really, really like the chance to spend a lifetime with J. I want to have his children, our children, and feel them grow in my belly. I want to find my dream house. I want to write the books I know I have in me, with the gift of words you gave me.
The sky is so very blue and I am so very, very scared that maybe my days of blue skies and warm breezes soft with smells of falling summer won't be so many.
Please. Just a little miracle.
Love,
your daughter
October is breast cancer awareness month. Please don't put off learning about the disease that strikes one of four women.
