Linda

Last Sunday , before Church , right in the parking lot , Linda ran up to meet me . There was an air of anxiety in her movements . She saw me the Sunday before last and felt there was something about my body language that worried her . She wanted to make sure I was alright .

Haven't I said we are like one person ? I haven't told her about my cancer's return , yet , she felt something was wrong . I told her then right in that parking lot .

My cancer's return weighed heavily on Linda's heart all during the service . The minute it was over , she ran back downstairs in Kidz Zone to see me once more . I tried my best to reassure her that I'm okay with it . I tried telling her it was alright .

It's not alright . It's not alright . Those were Linda's words . She was upset and couldn't deal with this . I can understand why . We have been dealing with our cancers together right from the start . We want one of us to have a normal life and beat this . . . . .be done with all of this . . . . at least one of us . Just as I'm sure that Doug's family is worried about his cancer returning since it has happened to us both .

How is Linda doing ? Well , she still has been taking chemotherapy and will have her Petscan to determine if it's working or not . Or if her cancer has spread some more .

As she left , she kept hugging me and Emily all full of concern for the both of us .  I didn't want her to be worrying about me . She needs to be worrying about herself , but I understood that concern . Won't you please , take a minute to pray for Linda's peace in all of this ? She has so much on her plate , she doesn't need mine as well .
Have a Blessed Week everyone .
