So, my mother has cancer.
Fuck!
You've had better weeks, huh?
I'm sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Thanks guys. I'm a bit gobsmacked. This explains my parents' odd behaviour yesterday and over the weekend. Me, I'm at a loss. I want to go home, but I don't want to make a big deak of it.
Ugh. I have to get home and get the rental and have my car towed to the collision centre.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Oh, ita. I'm sorry. I hope for a good, healthy resolution.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift
brenda, so much coping~ma to you. Stress, regardless of its source, is a bitch, and I'm sorry you're feeling overwhelmed.
Oh, ita. I'm so sorry. I really wish you didn't have to deal with this. If you want to commiserate, feel free to email/call me. If you want to go home, go home. Cancer's a big deal regardless, and unless it expressly violates your mother's wishes, being there with her will do you both good.
Fuck cancer with a rusty chainsaw sideways without any lube. I am so goddamned sick of this disease touching people I care about.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
I am so sorry, ita.

Maria said all this as well as it can be said, so I'll just point and nod.
