History

Every family has a history. Every family has a past.

Hair color, eye color, height.

Pedigree, nationality, wealth.

Alcoholism, abuse.

Illness.

My family has a very old history of blond hair, blue eyes, European ancestry.

But now my family has a new history, a recent one, a scary one.

Cancer.

Yes, cancer has wormed its way into my family history, threatening to overcome us, to tear us apart. But it won't; we won't let it. Because with this history comes another one, a stronger one.

Survival.
