I'm waiting in agony for the phone to ring. That's one call I do not want to answer. I'm starting a new job tomorrow and need to go iron my clothes and get to bed. I know I shall not sleep tonight. I don't want to call my sister because I don't want to interrupt any conversations and love that might be exchanged in the room right now.
If I hear anything in the next couple of hours, I'll get up and post something. I don't know if she'll feel like getting on the computer once she gets to go home. I just hope she won't be alone tonight - I'm certain my niece would stay with her. God, I wish I were out there.
For those who were asking, my brother-in-law (Larry) has been fighting nasopharyngeal cancer for almost 10 years. He's an AMAZING guy with a strong will to live - I think he's finally tired of fighting. He's been in the hospital a number of times since June with pneumonia and hemorrhaging. He's 78 years old (Bullwinkle is 58). He's had a wonderful life, with loving friends and family. He's been sort of a father figure to me - I've had him in my life longer than I had my dad.
I know Bullwinkle is strong, and she's been expecting this for a long, long time. It's still never easy when it finally happens. I am praying for relief for Larry and strength and patience for my sister, niece and Larry's kids from his first marriage.
Thanks to all for your love and support. DUers really are amazing.
