Contrasting feelings
Posted: October 26th, 2018, 9:09 pm
Not really seeking comfort, just expressing how contrary life can be.
For some months my wife had a swelling in her tummy, which slowly limited her ability to enjoy food, though she still had a appetite. She's just had an operation to remove two sizeable cysts and of course the fear was that they were malignant. Well we were really relieved to learn they weren't and this evening I had the great pleasure of watching her sat by her hospital bed, enjoying a curry, followed by some rice pudding, her first proper meal for months.
However, when I arrived home there was a phone call from my sister, saying her son has finally succumbed to the cancer he's been fighting off for several years and naturally she's heartbroken! She then ask how my wife was?
