Ohana

I just got off the phone with my mother and she shared something with me that makes me cry a little. I want to shout it from the rooftops (and facebook) about it, but I think it's still somewhat of a surprise. However, I feel like my blog is a safe place to do it because the chances of the person for whom the surprise is intended for reading my blog is slim to none.

That being said, if my cousin is reading this, keep your mouth shut; your mother doesn't know this is gonna go down. Thanks.

One of my aunts recently found out she had stomach cancer. She had surgery to remove the tumor but will still be undergoing chemo. My mother said that my aunt found out that she will be losing her hair, and my aunt could only cry. My mother and her youngest sister are going to Savannah to be with my aunt and, to show their love and support, are shaving their heads. Not cutting their hair short. Shaving. Bald. Gone.

I think they are amazing and I wish I was going to be there with them.
