When Cancer Strikes a Single Dad

One of my single dad blogging friends, Jim Everson, has been battling skin cancer for what seems like ages now. My mind has trouble going here - to the pain he must be feeling - because my own father died of cancer and witnessing it was horrific, to say the least. There is quite possibly no worse death or struggle one can face, aside from being eaten alive by snakes or some kind of bug. I'm making that joke only because I know it would make Jim smile and maybe even laugh a little.



 When you're facing what he's facing laughter is just about all you have. This week he found out his cancer has taken a frightening turn for the worse (possibly). That's the thing about cancer you just don't know. There are so many possibilities and so few certainties. Please visit his blog and send him all of the love you can muster.

When Your Friend's Husband Cheats

If you haven't discovered Pistols and Popcorn yet, you're missing out. Just awarded with a 2009 Bloggie Award, the author - Jodi - always makes me think. This week she found out one of her friend's husbands has been having an affair. She can't even bear the sight of said husband anymore but asks on her blog if she is overreacting. Having recently gone through this with my own best friend I can totally understand that feeling of wanting to kill the guy, especially when children are involved. Read about Jodi's experience here.
