Have you ever had to make a call you didn't want to make? Or have you ever received a call that you wish you would of just had to go to voice mail? I made such a call yesterday to my sister. Our dad had a biopsy done and we all knew in the back of our mind what it could be but none of us would say anything because we don't want to have to deal with that nasty "c" word. The doctor said the official results won't be in until next week but I am 70-80% sure it is "cancer". The time stood still.......
I debated on whether to call my sister or not and I thought I would want to know even if I was at work and I would be mad if she or any of my other siblings didn't call me. I just happened to have been there along with mom and my other sister. For a moment all we could do is drill the doctor with questions, we wanted answers now, we wanted dad out of pain, we wanted it to be cured and him to go back to his old self. Of course our dad being the man he is, asked if we could give him some Miller Light through the IV :)
So here we are waiting for the official results, waiting for time to stop standing still, waiting once again on doctors and their schedules. And waiting for our family's journey to begin.
