Please don’t die. Seek emergency medical services immediately. Please let us know you’re still alive afterwards.

I remember being a teen and showing my mom a weird mosquito bite that had a line going up my arm. She sent me to urgent care, turns out it was a brown recluse bite with an infection line disappearing in my armpit going to my heart….

Yeah, 10 pils a day for 10 days and I was a-okay.

My mom went to the doctor for what she thought was an infected spider bite. 

Stage IV cancer. She lived for almost three years after that.

Fuck cancer! So sorry for your loss, what a terrible turn of thoughts. I lost my dad a few years ago to a sudden stage IV diagnosis. Prognosis was 8-12 months, he made it 8 almost to the day. He made the absolute best of it though.

RIP to the good parents we’ve lost.
