Day 125.

Caroline told me you weigh 79 pounds today. The tumor in your neck is the size of a tennis ball, and is now growing inward.

My heart is breaking, again. But you know what my roommate Amy told me last night?

"It's like swallowing a piece of glass. It's going to hurt like hell, but one day, eventually, the edges will dull and it won't hurt as much anymore."

I love you mom. And I'm going to hurt for a long time, but one day I will wake up and things won't hurt as much. I'm going to be okay, I promise.

Shards of glass,
Niki FM.
