David Bowie's son marries girlfriend the day she is diagnosed with cancer

This is a lovely story:
David Bowie was famous for his womanising ways but his son Duncan Jones is much more of a traditional romantic.
Duncan, 41, has revealed that he married his girlfriend Rodene Ronquillo, 32, the day she was diagnosed with breast cancer last month.
"On November 4th, my beautiful fiancée @rodeneronquillo and I were frisking about in bed, as you do. I am a boob man and found ... a lump," Duncan, an award-winning film director, wrote on Twitter.
"It was a Sunday, so we had to wait to get an appointment to have the lump biopsied but by Wednesday, we had an answer. Cancer. Stage 2.
"We were a little overwhelmed by the news: cancer and presidential election day, so decided to make it a set, ran down to the courthouse and got married! So cancer, election, marriage. All on one day! Two days later, Ro was in surgery."
Rodene had the tumours removed surgically, and will start chemotherapy this week. In preparation, she and Duncan shaved their heads and posted a picture of their new looks on Twitter.
Duncan is hopeful Rodene's cancer was caught early enough for her to beat it, but says their story is a reminder that every woman, no matter how young she is, can be affected by the killer disease.
"I love my wife more than anyone. She's young as can be. Women are getting breast cancer younger and younger. Women? check yourselves! And men? Touch up your loved ones. You may save the life of the person you love."
Duncan is the son of David Bowie and his famous first wife Angie Barnett, a former model. He was named Zowie Bowie but changed his name at 18. He hasn't spoken to his mother since he was 13, but has a good relationship with his father.

"Hard nipples" - areola or nipple skin

Someone once wrote"... when i get really cold, or get goosebumbs all over my body, the whole things really scrunch up, like, my entire areola scrunches itself up into a wrinkled little mound. it looks really weird and ugly, and i haven't ever seen other people's breasts do it. what is wrong with my areola/nipples??" The answer: Well nothing is wrong. This is what my areola does too. It's a normal reaction to the coldness or to irritation / stimulation. The little muscles in the areola do a similar goosebump thing as your other skin can do. People often call this phenomenon "hard nipples". Also note that skin on areola has less feeling or sensation to it than other areas of your body. If the areola was very sensitive, then breastfeeding would probably be quite uncomfortable because the baby pulls and tugs it! The nipples are sensitive but the sensitivity changes with hormonal changes, such as occur at mestrual cycle or pregnancy. Also this v...

Loosing a parent!

When a Parent Dies: Dealing with the Loss of Your Mother or Father By David Kessler This is spot on. I guess until you go through this you will never know. #parents #love #grief #davidkessler #survivor #iamstillawoman When a parent of an adult dies, there is almost an unspoken expectation that it will not hit you head on. An adult is expected to accept death as a part of life, to handle all sudden losses in an appropriate adult manner. But really, what does that mean? That you should not be sad? That you should be so grateful they didn’t die when you were a child that you don’t need to mourn your parent? The above considerations demonstrate an under-estimation of grief. Grief is the reflection of the connection that has been lost. That loss does not diminish because you are an adult or because your mother or father lived a long life. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through the grief. But how long do you grieve for the man who...
