At the beginning of the month, a friend found out her father-in-law has lung cancer; a week ago, they found out he also has a brain tumor. Doctors have given him a year to live.
As well, Dawn, Greg, and Wyatt - my BFFs and my "nephew" - may be moving 1,400km away. Greg was let go in a mass company-wide layoff a few weeks ago. He was contacted by a company from Alberta interested in talking to him. He's already flown there for an interview and back again, and they've offered him the job. Dawn and Greg fly out the first weekend in May to take a look around and see if they like the town enough to take the offer. I know it's not a done deal yet. I know they'll visit. I know we can go visit them. But it still sucks.
SO much suckage in one phone call.
I feel bad for still thinking about what a good day it was up until the phone rang.
I'm sorry for the lack of comments lately, I always read your updaes but half the time your disqus comment form crashes on me or just plain won't load:.. So if there is an extended silence on my end it isn't a lack of caring, it's poor CSS and JavaScript crashing my poor little mobile browser.
ReplyDeleteI'm sorry you've had such a rough week with family friends, life changes can be for better or worse, and it's impossible to tell how they'll shake down in advance :(
I'll be praying for your friend's FIL, and am wishing Greg, Dawn and family a safe, easy move.
I'm sorry!! :(
ReplyDeleteThese things always seem to come at the same time, and just when we think things are going well. Of course you'll yearn for before the phone call, ignorance is bliss. I'm sorry you're having to deal with so much stuff right now.
