But the process of growing up and out of my roots was wrought with the pain of comparison, of idealization.
It took being diagnosed with cancer to see my mother clearly, to sweep away all the cloudiness brought by years of distance and judgment. I called both of my parents with the news of my first MRI, telling them that the radiologist had found a very large mass in my brain. They both immediately jumped on a plane and had installed themselves in my basement only two days later.
