Saying a prayer for ya. My mom went through thyroid cancer... Still see the scar from the surgery every day when I hug her (and Yes, Even at the age of 27, my mommy gets a hug EVERY time I see her).
Stay positive, and know INGO has your back!
Why did you quote that part? I am 43 and my mom gets a kiss full on the lips and a hug. Joke away guys but some of you kiss your mom too.
