Who Needs Shampoo when you are Bald?

I wanted to stop by and see her this week, so I texted her that I would be, 'leaving the ship in about 10 minutes'...

Smart phones have a funny way of making things ridiculous sometimes.

To that she responded, "Star command, beam me out in 10! Will you take me with you when you return to your world?'

That caught a lump in my throat for some reason.  I know (I think) she was just being funny.  Ship should have been shop and we both knew that.  There was something there though.

I did just want to scoop her up and take her back to my world with me, in so many ways. Back to healthy, back to living, back to her own house and space and job and friends and eating whatever she wanted and on and on.

But for now, back to reality.

I did go by and she was in a great mood.  We laughed again about the text and other stupid texts that we have sent and received in this day and age of smart phone typing.  One I asked my 17 year old son if he wanted 'breast' with dinner.  Clearly, that should have been bread...good grief.

Recently she had to move her room around and came across her supply of extra shampoo...to that we all rolled around laughing...

...she is so bald at this point!

Retyping it doesn't sound half as funny.  Sometimes you have to laugh so you don't cry. 

Trying to psych herself up to go back to the hospital on Monday for another 3 day treatment...which means another girls night in the hospital.  She said the last one about did her in.  She said she felt like she was a cancer patient and that she didn't know how she was going to make it through.

To that I just listened.

To you - whoever you are that is reading this - just listen.  Laugh, cry and listen.
