Mike Caring for Carcinoid

My name is Michael Blackwood. I was born in Montague P.E.I. on May 27, 1985. I am the sixth child of my parents. I have 2 sisters and 8 brothers one of those is my identical twin Tim. I like to play the violin, the Spanish language, and Spain. My family is the community I grew up in and it is a very important part of my life.
My parents work a lot. My Dad is a family doctor. My mom is many things; she works as the office manager of my Dad's family practice and has brought up ten kids. She turned fifty, one year ago. Shortly after, she was diagnosed with carcinoid a rare form of neroendocrine cancer. She likes to play the piano.
I’m studying music and Spanish in Madrid. My twin brother Tim and I live in a working class district called “La Latina.” We rent two rooms from a woman from the Dominican Republic. The rooms don’t have heat but it's still a neat place to be. I'm thinking of returning to Spain this coming year to continue my studies.
As a young person it is easy to feel as if there is no end to life. Yet the more reality calls my name, it says that life is not meant to be ignored. My mom having carcinoid is one of those realities. The future is what will come and the present is what we have in our veins.
