While setting up my SG profile not too long ago, I was stumped with the question of "your most humbling moment." I could think of a few moments that were hard or sad or confusing, but none that actually made me feel humbled. Well, two nights ago I went to visit a long time friend's mother in the hospital. After fighting the battle of breast cancer nearly eight years ago and kicking it's ass, I was informed with some bad news. Two weeks prior a spot was found on Tammy's lung, 9 days ago a biopsy was done and lung cancer was confirmed, 5 days ago she was in surgery having part of her right lung removed. When I walked into that recovery room two nights ago the question of "you most humbling moment" jumped into my brain so fast, I could almost see the sentence forming in front of my eyes. To see such a strong, independent, cancer ass kicking woman with tubes in her nose and in her chest was definitely a wake up call. You may have control over many things in your life, but cancer is not always one of them. You might be saying, "well if she wouldn't have smoked, she wouldn't have gotten cancer". However, this is not the type of lung cancer you get from smoking, this is the type of cancer any non-smoking, non-drinking, non-druging person can get. So I guess the moral is, you never know what's in store for you or those you love. So live it up, have fun. Do what makes you happy and always always always tell the people you love how much you love them. You just never know.
