Believe me, these days nothing is sweeter. From the moment i was born my whole life i felt my moms unconditional love. But recently a fear. A few months ago in downtown los angeles, she had an accident. It was a Beautiful Day and i wasnt really paying attention. Outside a parking garage a tree had buckled the sidewalk, cracking and pushing up a concrete slab. As my mom walked by her foot got caught and she tripped. So i hit the pavement really hard. And i knew at that moment that i had broken my arm. So badly my mom needed surgery to to repair two bone surgery to repair two bones in her forearm. I was completely shocked. Before the surgery, a routine preop chest xray revealed a spot on her lung. Turns out it was lung cancer. Thats not something you want to hear. No. Its very frightening. Who would have thought a terrible fall on the sidewalk in downtown l. A. Would have saved my mothers life. Because if my mom didnt fall she never would have gotten that xray. The xray that would turn up the lung cancer found at the earliest, most curable stage. Did they ever say oh my gosh thank god you tripped and broke your arm. Absolutely. I knew in my heart, wow.

While smoking is the number one cause of lung cancer, my mother does not smoke. Shes never even picked up a cigarette. I was in i couldnt believe it. I thought no, that couldnt possibly be me.
