awareness

Ever buy a car and then notice how many of those cars magically appear on the road? I'm like that with cancer now. Granted, I live in Houston so it's not real surprising to come across MD Anderson commercials on the local TV or radio but I'm also seeing them on blogs all over the place now.

I'm on a garden forum and a brick wall forces me to stop. Down in the bottom corner is an ad that means more to me now than I could have ever imagined. In a moment, I go from thinking about plants to choking back tears, imagining what it would be like to have my brother's face in that commercial with a beautiful red line drawn through whatever the hell his 'noma turns out to be.
