Mom is back in hospital for chemotherapy again, but before that she held a get-well-soon party for herself, with my family, relatives and her friends as her guests. It worked to inject normalcy back into our social circle after what happened. Talks, buffets, movies, toys and crying toddlers, you name it!

As expected, chemo makes her feel awful, but whenever she can, she posts memes and strikes up chit-chat with my family on our WhatsApp group. Mom is a trooper.

In other news, the Second Cold War is underway as far as I am concerned. Here is hoping current and future generations uphold global harmony, freedom of information and expression, energy efficiency and proper waste management.
