I just got a call from my Aunt Colette letting me know that my Aunt Teri is not doing so well. To give you a little background info: She had to watch two sons die, her husband had throat cancer, she was a breast cancer survivor, and now she is fighting cancer again. She and my other aunt took a trip to Florida the other week and had a wonderful time together. But, she started to get dizzy a week into their vacation so they came back to MI. Turns out she has cancer in her brain that is pushing against her nerves- or something to 'cause her dizziness. So, the doctor's explained that the outcome does not look good but they will do four radiation treatments just to keep up the fight. They also explained that she has to spend at least 90% of her time in a wheel chair because her body is so weak now. The sad news is that my family called in for hospice help. They don't know when she will pass away but the doctors let us know that she will be leaving us soon. I cried when I heard the news and wished to God that I could be home supporting my family. I don't like to be away in bad times or in good times. It makes me rethink what I am doing here. So, all I can do for now is to pray for her and hurry home to be with my family. My Aunt Teri and I have a wonderful relationship, and we have some pretty awesome memories. I hope we can make a few more before she leaves. If you read my blog, please simply pray for my Aunt Teri. Thanks.
