The Quarter Map
Mom leaves me pennies. I’ve found hundreds of them since she died two years ago, but that’s a story for another day. Now Dad, he leaves me quarters…not as often as Mom, but I know they are from him. In fact, I found one in the grass today.

When Both Parents are Dying of Cancer, and the Hilarity That Ensues
Mom’s diagnosis came first, then Dad’s a few weeks later. After Mom started chemo and lost her hair, I started a twitter account documenting the craziness. Going bald was quite traumatic for my mom, as was the process of getting a wig. The lovely people at American Cancer Society provide one for free, and there was a location in the suburban strip mall close to where my parents lived.
