A
couple of days ago my mom called. She was upset. She related her
reason for being upset. My brother in law had just received the word
that his cancer was fast acting and there was not much the medical
profession could do to help the situation. My sister and husband
were told that he had between a month and three month to live. This
news was upsetting to me also. What do you do or say?
Since
that day I have talked with my sister and they are probably going to
try a massive chemo treatment and see if this can buy a few more day
of life. I mostly listened and tried to be supportive. My sister
asked me for a favor. She wanted me to pray and pray I did. That
prayer on the phone was not the last one I have uttered for my
brother in law and sister and I will continue to be in prayer.
This
whole experience has caused me to think again about how quickly life
goes by. It seems like only yesterday my sister got married and
moved to the State of Wyoming. All this thinking has convinced me to
thank God for each day of life that is given to me. Life is a gift
for sure.
