I do have to write about my wonderful son-in-law. His 32nd birthday was the 7th of this month and he spent it anticipating a visit to the oncologist’s office the next morning. His life and future plans which seemed so perfect just a few short months ago have been thrown to the winds. Heavy worries and cruel uncertainty has become the norm. Change is not just a little breeze passing through his life but a whirlwind that has picked him up and he has no idea where, when and how he will land except that it will be on his feet. New job, new house, new neighborhood, new friends, new co-workers, and then this lovely little “c” word invades his territory along with its attendant demands.
With what grace he handles everything. Patience, kindness, understanding. There are not enough words to praise his character and actions.
And how good he is with me. I’m not the easiest person in the world and frankly, dealing with cancer does NOT get easier each time. It gets harder. It is not just a matter of walking Tess through the journey, but also dealing with and avoiding all my ghosts of the past. Sometimes I am supportive and sometimes I need the support. Jamie is always there with a hug or a kind word or a thank you.
So all you readers of this blog, say a special prayer for Jamie and send him lots of love.
