The Stillroom

Today my sister has to make arrangements to put her husband in hospice tomorrow.

Gary was cutting down a few old bushes just two weeks ago. He cut the grass, went to Lowes, got gas, took my parents trash cans up for the next day pick up, came home and took a shower and had a lovely dinner with my sister.

The next day he just didn’t “feel right.” A week later he was in the hospital up on the hill. A few days later he was transferred to Hillman Cancer Center. Today he is fading away.

Just wow.

Within the course of two weeks cancer has ravaged every part of him. Without any warning. Without any signs. Without as much as a hint of things to come. This cancer has literally come out of nowhere.

We will gather around my sister. We will be her strength. We will love on her. We will carry her.

My sister was blessed to have known such a love. To let it go in such short order will be the toughest thing she will ever have to do.

I didn’t want to leave the readers of this blog hanging. This is the update.

Now, we are just waiting for the call.
