My Auntie Ellie
Sadly, a few weeks ago (on my birthday of all days) I received a call from my closest aunt wishing me a happy birthday, oh, then telling me she had cancer and would probably never see me again.
Wonderful call to get on your birthday I think you'd agree.
Anyway, she seemed pretty upbeat about the whole thing, basically acknowledging that there wasn't a whole lot she could do about it and she'd let the doctors do whatever they could. All in all a pretty good attitude to have really.
Well since then things seem to have gotten really bad really quickly. I found out a couple of days ago that some radical surgery had to be performed, and my dear auntie Ellie is in very bad shape. But I'll try to deal with it the same way she was, by accepting that there is absolutely nothing I can do, and leave it up to the powers that be to do what needs to be done.
So my fingers are crossed, but I fear for the worst.
