  After a year in the US, I have learned some interesting American expressions.When I am facing a lot of pressure at work, my back and neck would start to hurt.I have too many things to do, because my supervisor is on my back all the time.In other words, my employer is always telling me to do things.

  Sometimes I want my employer to get off my back.I cannot say this; I would never turn my back on her or refuse to help when there is a need.If I did refuse to help, my supervisor might say bad things about me behind my back.Sometimes when I am very productive in my job, my employer gives me a pat on the back.She might even say, "I will scratch your back, if you scratch mine." This means she will do something for me if I do something helpful for her in exchange.

  I know that my employer carries a lot on her shoulders.She is responsible for many things at the office.Being important, she often rubs shoulders with the top officials.She spends time with some very important people.I believe the top official values my supervisor.He never gives her the cold shoulder.He always treats her to be an important part of the organization.

  I also value my supervisor.In fact I think she is very effective in her job.We are always ahead of others in the yearly sales.But it is not necessary for me to praise my supervisor.So I think I will just save my breath because talking or repeating will not do any good.

  “Come in,Kim.Have a seat,please,”said Bill Williams,the manager.This was Kim's first experience with an assessment.After only six months he was due for a raise if this assessment was satisfactory.

  “Kim,”began Bill Williams,“I am very pleased with the quality of your work.I have nothing but praise for your devotion and your hard work.My only concern is that,you are not active enough in putting forward your suggestions.”

  “But,”replied Kim,“I have always completed every assignment you have given me,Mr.Williams.”

  “Mom, I have cancer.”These four words catapulted my son and me on a journey that lasted two years.On that dat I felt a wave of paralyzing fear.

  Scott was the oldest of my four children.He was 33 years old and a successful assistant principal at SamRayburn Hifht School in Pasadena, Texas.He and his wife Carolyn were busy raising four active children.Scott was 6'2'', weighed 200 pounds and had never been sick a day in his life.

  A few month earlier a mole(痣)on his neck had changed color.“Dr.Warner called,” Scott said that spring morning.“It's melanoma.(黑素瘤)” I tried to comfort him, naming all the people I knew who had survived skin cancer.Yet, I felt small tentacles of fear begin to wrap around my chest.

  Our next stop was MDAnderson, the famous cancer hospital in Houston.Scott had surgery at the end of May and was scheduled for radiation treatments over the summmer recess.“There is an 80 percent chance it won't reoccur,” the doctors said.At the end of summer, all his tests came back negative and Scott was back at school in the fall.However, in December, Scott discovered a lump on his neck.It was examined and the result came back “malignant.(恶性的)” We now relized that Scott fell into the 20 percent category.I could feel the tentacles tightening around my chest.He entered the hospital for an aggressive treatment, a combination of interferon and interleukin.

  After five months of treatment, he had radical surgery on his neck.The test results were encourging, only three of the 33 lymph nodes(淋巴结)removed were malignant.We were very hopefull.

  For the next six months, Scott's follow-up visits went well.Then in October, X-ray revealed a spot on his lung.The spot was removed during surgery and the doctors tried to be optimistic.It was a daily battle to control the fear and panic each setback brought.

  In January, he was diagnosed as having had a “disease explosion.” The cancer had spread to his lungs, spine and liver and he was given three to six months to live.There were times during this period when I felt like I was having a heart attack.The bands constricting my chest made breathing difficult.

  When you watch your child battle cancer, you experience a roller coaster of emotions.There are moments of hope and optimism but a bad test result or even an unusual pain can bring on dread and panic.

  Scott was readmitted to the hospital for one last try with chemotherapy.He died, quite suddenly, just six weeks after his last diagnosis.I was completely destroyed.I had counted on those last few months.

  The next morning I was busy notifying people and making funeral arrangements.I remember having this nagging feeling that something was physically wrong with me.It took a moment to realize that the crushing sensation in my chest was gone.The thing every parent fears the most had happened.My son was gone.Of course, the fear had been replaced by unbearable sorrow.

  After you lose a child, it is so difficult to go on.The most minimal tasks, combing your hair or taking a shower, becoming monumental.For months I just sat and stared into space.That spring, the trees began to bloom; flowers began to pop up in my garden.Friendswood was coming back to life but I was dead inside.

  During those last weeks, Scott and I often spoke about life and death.Fragments of those conversations kept playing over and over in my mind.

  “Don't let this ruin your life, Mom.”

  “Make sure Dad re models his workshop.”

  “Please, take care of my family.”

  I remember wishing I could have just one more conversation with him.I knew what I would say, but what would Scott say? “I know how much you love me, Mom.So just sit on the couch and cry.” No, I knew him better than that.Scott loved life and knew how precious it is.I could almost hear his voice saying, “Get up Mom, Get on with your life.It's too valuable to waste.”

  That was the day I began to move forward.I signed up for a cake decorating class.Soon I was making cakes for holidays and birthdays.My daughter-in-law told me about a writing class in Houston.I hadn't written in years, but since I was retired I decided it be time to start again.The local college advertised a Life Story Writing class that I joined.There I met women who had also lost their children.The Poet Laureate of Texas was scheduled to speak at our local Barnes and Noble.I attended and joined our local poetry society.I never dreamed that writing essays and poems about Scott could be so therapeutic.Several of those poems have ever been published.In addition, each group brought more and more people into my life..

  I don't believe you ever recover from the loss of a child.Scott is in my heart and mind every day.However, I do believe you can survive.

  Scott fought so bravery to live and he never gave up.He taught me that life is a gift that should be cherished, not wasted.It has taken years to become the person I am today.The journey has been a difficult , painful process but certainly worth the effort and I know that my son would be proud.
