Emotion
October 10, 2003
I don’t know if this is the best place to say because it probably isn’t. My girlfriend’s family was struck with terrible news yesterday. My girl’s father has a tumor in his esophagus. Whether it’s benign or malignant is yet to be determined in the upcoming weeks. Rightly so, the rest of the family is distraught and coping with the situation as best as they can.
His health has been deteriorating quite quickly over the past, oh, six months. Also, he’s more elderly than not which just complicates matters. I’m in no position to offer advice but I’m trying to give emotional support where I can. I’m also helping their family business fairly often lately. As a result, I’m a bit drained lately too. Still, my situation is nothing compared to theirs.
Updates may become scarce. Good thoughts, well wishes, and prayers are more than welcome.
