I found out today that a former co-worker of mine has stage 4 cancer. I knew she was going for surgery, they did not know the extent. She has been in my prayers, but I have not spoken with her since about 5 months ago. I mean to call her, you know, how you do with friends and yet you never get the time...
Two weeks ago, when I found out they suspected cancer and that she was facing surgery I bought a card ... I just have not gotten around to mailing it ... yet.
So now? What do I do. I'll write the card, send it off, and call her in several days when I think she'll want to talk.
Dear God, I'm running out of fingers to count the friends who are fighting Cancer ... I want my fingers back ... I want my friends, and the time to be in touch with them, and laugh, and live and watch the sun rise ... and set ... and rise ...
