What's It All About?

The World Goes Round...

A lot has been going on since the last time I wrote.
It turns out that what the doctor's found the last time I
wrote was actually a tumor, and my grandmother has been
diagnosed with cancer in her liver and lung. The doctor
says that, even with chemotherapy, it may only buy us a
few more months with her. She's still doing the
treatments, but my grandfather has already made
preperations to bury his wife. I can't even imagine what
he's going through. I know that he's not emotionally
ready; none of us really are.
Mom has been staying with my grandparents to help take
care of my grandmother because she knows Grandpa can't do
it alone. I love my family so much. The only thing I'm
trying to do is stay out of everybody's way and call my
grandmother once in a while. Mom says that even if I can't
see her (because I've been sick with colds and flu
lately), I can at least call her and just hearing my voice
makes her happy. I even took an old photograph of my
grandmother and I together, enlarged it, and put it in a
frame so she has one of just the two of us. She really
loved it.
John has been so supportive through the whole thing, being
a shoulder to cry on and hearing me complain about how I
haven't been able to spend any time with my mom. He's just
so wonderful; I don't know how I got so lucky.
