I was able to visit Carol last week during her last stay in the hospital while receiving chemo. These last 4-1/2 months have been the longest in her life. Several hospital stays, countless tests, and time away from work, family, and friends has taken a toll on her. 

Carol has a biopsy in 6 weeks to know how to proceed. All results so far have been promising but there’s always the looming questions: Why did this happen? Will it happen again? How will I know the early warning signs if this comes back? 

Right now it’s still a waiting game. Carol plans to go back to work in September. She is looking forward to being needed again. She’s needed to rely on others these past months and she’s ready to be back to a regular life of work and time at home with her family. The regular things we sometimes take for granted. 

Please send some encouragement to Carol and her family with kind words, donations or both! Happier times are in their future but the waiting game is no fun!

Waiting is a mystery – a natural sacrament of life – there is a meaning hidden in all the times we have to wait. It must be an important mystery because there is so much waiting in our lives. Everyday is filled with those little moments of waiting.
