Pizza Pie


Last Wednesday we had the no-chemo-pizza party and tonight we are having the Chemo Pizza Party and Kathleen said today, "Aren't you getting tired of making pizza?" and I said, "Good God, no. I love to make pizza."

And Mr. Moon is home tonight so it's just the three of us, Kathleen and me and Mr. Moon and we're about to eat pizza and go to bed because chemo can take it out of you, even if you're not the one sitting there with a line going into a surgically implanted port dripping toxic chemicals into your bloodstream.

I want Kathleen to live forever and whether that happens or not, if she wants pizza, I am so happy to make it for her.

And hell, we all love pizza.

And I do love to make it.

Bread, vegetables, cheese and venison sausage.

Perfect.

    I remember about this time last year we were called with some news that frightened me and the words "If we find a glioma we will probably surgically install a port somewhere in his chest and he'll receive chemo there" My whole body went numb. I couldn't think or see or anything.

    Thank GOD it was only sphenoid wing dysplasia. Wait and see. We are still waiting.

    Ms.Moon ~ I'll mail it to you as I trust you to return it. I bought it at a thrift store last week and it is ... I can't even say.... a light. Maybe we can pass the book around, write notes to each other in it? I'll email you, although my acct is acting up so it might be in a day or so.

    It's truly remarkable and made me think of so many of us. Different, yet not. Drawn by our call to serve , to be better than if we can , to love and be loved. It touches on faith, feminism, same sex relationships, the lost and broken , the teachers and leaders and learners.

    It is so difficult for me to read about Kathleen's ups and downs, but is there anything NOT made better by homemade pizza? I doubt it. Love you so.

    I made my mother-in-law eggplant parm that she ate after her first chemo last week. They gave her THREE FUCKING BAGS of the stuff.

    But she loved that parm. God, that helped. I want her around forever, too, but at least I got to feed her.

    I have a friend with cancer out west. I'm unable to help her like you help Kathleen (and it's frustrating). In fact I wrote about it not long ago, searching for ideas.

    Thanks for caring about your friend and I get about making endless pizza.
