Chemo is Over - Now Let’s Get Married
it actually happened. my mom made it through four rounds of chemo. yesterday was her last one. my dad and i were with her in the hospital and we just talked and managed to laugh a fair bit. a far cry from her first chemo, where for the most part, she cried through the whole thing. all six hours of it.
now she’s at home, resting and recuperating and getting her energy stored up for my wedding. in 2 1/2 weeks, i’m getting married to one of the most gracious, generous men i’ve met. we’ll be with 60 of our closest friends and family on a beach in cabo san lucas.
our special day will mark the end of mom’s chemo and my father-in-law’s brain surgery he underwent last week to remove a tumor. both parents are at home safely recovering. all doctors have given the go-ahead for the wedding hangama and travels. 
there is a light at the end of this tunnel. healthy parents. exchanging life-affirming vows with my beloved. we made it through.
thank you all for your love, prayers and kind words though this very intense time. if nothing else, my sweetheart and i have a new-found, deep appreciation for the zest of life.
when all is said and done, my wish is that all the fire we walked through left me stronger and more raw for my music and art and of course, for life.
