My mother was a WAVE too Will. I'm very proud of her. She died of
cancer in the mid 70s, in a VA facility. They had to close down a
whole section of the hospital because she was the first woman they'd
treated and they wanted to give her some privacy.

Thank you so much for sharing that, Ricavito... It gives us a sort of
bond... Your mom must have been really something.


She gave me life and she raised me, when it would have been easier on
her to give me away. I'll always cherish her for that.

Your mother was very young at 43, so you must have been just a child.
It must have been very hard to lose your mother at such a young age.

To this day, I cannot bear to watch those Hollywood movies about women
with breast cancer, without having to change the channel... It is an
unspeakably awful disease. The hard part is all the months and years
of suffering, with seemingly no end in sight.... And then, one day, it
is all over. I still do not really know how to fully cope with that.

Will, T2
