These things happen or that is what they say. Doctors can't say WHO will get cancer. They spout off millions of things we should not do and yet people still get it and many other diseases. But she is among them and I am just so sad. YES she smoked... but it hardly seems fair. A wife, a mother... a grandmother, my co-worker and my friend. She has 8 days to 8 weeks left and Hospice has moved in and I am overwhelmed by her last request: No crying visitors. I cannot go... not right now. I can't even say her name without my throat getting tight. She has made her peace. She is ready to meet her Maker. I bet he forgives her for smoking. Meanwhile... I keep thinking of her husband and her daughters and her grandchildren. The days will come when they will doubt lots of things... but they will always remember her love. And maybe... while there is life, there is always hope. That is all we have sometimes.
