Just when I thought the stress and worry was over, it starts up again. As you all know, my grandpa spent the better part of December in the hospital. After a successful AICD procedure he was released and is recovering well. The relief from my grandpa's improved health allowed me to really enjoy the holidays with family and friends, but now the holidays are over.
It is only the first week of January and my family has already received a medical scare. One of my family members has swollen lymph nodes in their neck. We are waiting for a biopsy to be done before we really start freaking out, but the possibility of cancer is terrifying. I'm finding it difficult to come up with the right words to offer support to those involved, but I think right now, hugs show plenty of support.
What has all of this shown me? Life really is short. You can't take anyone or anything for granted. There is not enough time to hold grudges or be upset with others. Seize the day, everyday, because the truth is we do not know what is in store for us.
