I call them the scars of cancer. When you're in the fight, they serve a purpose. Bed pads, commodes, walkers, all the things that are supposed to make life a little easier for the cancer patient. But when they are no longer needed, they are ugly scars, unwanted reminders of the battle you've fought and lost. I look around the house now and can match up the equipment to the timeline of Leroy's struggle ... a painful calendar of objects. I think tomorrow, it's time to clean house. -- Laurie Singer -- Eyder Peralta (original story)
