<p>My life is also filled with high, high’s and low, low’s. I’m a private person so I don’t generally share a lot with folks, but word does travel. Right now, my high is that my son is going to Harvard in four weeks which we’re very happy about. My low is that my stage 4 cancer looks to have recurred yet again. Maybe I have perspective, but I really don’t discuss either one with too many people. BUT, my 86 year old mother does. … I believe she may have lost a few friends from all the incessant bragging about my son going to Harvard. In fact, my brother complains to me about her bragging about it. I advise her to stop but she feels that it’s a grandparent’s "right’ to do so. I feel like it reflects poorly on me.</p>
