We just found out that my older sister, A, was diagnosed with colon cancer. There’s no history of this in our family, but it does underscore the need for regular testing. Yes, I know….we all get squeamish at the thought of that test (I know I do!! Yikes!), but it saves lives. “A” goes in for more tests this week, so everyone please keep her in your prayers, would ya’? She lives in New Jersey, and I’ll be flying there, at some point, to be with her for surgery. That’s all we know about it, so far.
She is only 2 1/2 years older than me. A thing like this makes me really feel my age. Usually, my mind feels like age 30…..if only I didn’t have to look in the mirror, I would think I am! In truth, I haven’t seen 30 in a long time. It’s funny how, as we age, we keep the same mindset, to a certain degree. Of course, we gain wisdom (one hopes!), but we still have many of the same desires for fun and adventure that we did years ago.
So that’s all for today. It’s hard to write when I’m worried..
