The radio is quite loud in my brain still and the only time I can able to lower the volume is when my 6 and 5 years old are around. As soon as they leave, it automatically gets loud.

I try to imagine their graduation, wedding and usually dissolve into tears. Then, I have to consciously push myself to think positive.

The other part of it is that I want to be on top of things but find the medical system frustrating. They will not do any scans or even blood tests after the completion of the treatment and this makes every ache and pain a threat in my mind. It causes so much restlessness.

love,
shobha
