Mortality

This evening, my brother told me that my mom has lung cancer. For some reason, I was unexpectedly dispassionate upon hearing it, and when I did feel upset, it was only in brief flashes. I don't know why that is. Am I a bad person? Am I unfeeling? I don't know. My mom doesn't yet know, but my dad thinks that she might have an idea. Two of my aunts on my mother's side passed away from cancer.

So far, there isn't any news regarding my mom's prospects, but whatever happens, I want her to be comfortable. She's had a difficult life raising my brothers and me, and I owe her everything.

My family and I will find out more on Monday.
