Will’s morning began in the office of his dermatologist as they discussed his upcoming surgical procedure to extract the melanoma found between his right ear and eyebrow. Next up was my husband’s MRI, scheduled in hopes of identifying the persistent cause of his low back pain.
As for me, I await biopsy results concerning the mass found in my neck.
Erma Bombeck, one of my all time favorite humorists, wasn’t kidding when she wrote—old age is not for sissies. Sadly, Erma never experienced old age for herself.
I’d idolized Erma’s mindful capacity for magically transforming the humdrums of every day life into quick witted moments of mirth, because we laugh at the truth.
In record time, Erma's column was heralded within more than 500 newspapers throughout the nation, making her an icon of modern homespun humor, and at the height of her popularity, with 900 newspapers syndicating her column, At Wit’s End, her audience numbered more than 30 million people, whose day was eased, having enjoying a good chuckle.
