Another Straw
Yesterday we found out that Starr’s paternal grandpa has bone cancer. We don’t know enough to make any guesses about what comes next, what we do know at this point is that he is sick. Quite sick.
Grandpa Bill is an imposing man, a big tall retired cop with a quiet but deep hearty voice. Despite his slightly intimidating physical presence, he is a caring and loving man. When he smiles at me, I feel that he is smiling from his heart.
It is hard to imagine him letting something like cancer get the upper hand. As if he could just give it a good stare down and cancer would cower and run. If only.
To borrow a phrase from a friend who knows all too painfully the truth in these words….Cancer Sucks!
