Some really GREAT news! Coming home from the hospital yesterday I turned to Claire, who was driving, and said that I must telephone my sister, Sandra, whom I haven't spoken to in over 8 years due to a stupid petty argument. Sandra was never a JW and the argument was JW-related (all my fault, I was holier than thou in those days ).
Anyway, I planned to 'phone Sandra last night when, suddenly, the 'phone rang. It was Sandra!! She said she'd been thinking of me virtually every day since we parted and that my older daughter, Jody, had telephoned her to tell her of my condition (Jody hasn't yet been in touch). There are no such things as coincidences. This was meant to be.
Sandra told me how much she loved me (she's six years older than I) and that she wished it was she who had the cancer and not me. THAT brought me to tears
Anyway, we're meeting up tonight at my house It took a serious illness but, gradually, my family is getting back together.
Thanks to those of you who have recently posted upbuilding messages. I read EVERY ONE!!
Sincere love to all,
Ian
