Waiting

Mother - 1982

 

Positive. Why is such negative information labeled "positive?" Positive. That's the result of her biopsy. Mother had breast cancer 20 years ago. Now, it seems to be coming back BUT...there's always a BUT...we won't know anything until next Wednesday late. Her doctor is out of town, then he has surgery all day Wednesday so he is seeing Mother Wednesday at 4:00 p.m.

 

Waiting. Is. Unbearable.  Several times a day I think my heart is missing a beat. I can feel it fluttering. It happens when I lose my concentration working and start thinking and praying for Mother.

 

It doesn't seem right that she has to wait until late Wednesday but everyone involved has other responsibilities, I understand that.

 

All indications (from conversations with people) tell me that if it is "c" it will not be bad. Caught early.

 

Whatever happens, my family is the strongest family. We will take care of each other at all costs.

 

Mother, I absolutely adore you. I know you will respond back with "Just pray...just pray." I am.
