My Mom now throws her banana peels over her shoulder, we laugh. She enjoys reading the National Enquirer, or I read it to her, we laugh. We play cards, I cheat, we laugh.

We even got her oncologist to taste the liquid laxatives she takes- we really laughed, and so did he!

Promised myself to have a belly aching laugh every day during the worst of it. This sometimes involved finding funny things on the t.v. when nothing else was available. Kept my spirits up.
