| | "...but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother." -Proverbs 18:24
It's been hard to watch my mom go through serious cancer, and now face the possibiliy of having another kind too, but it's almost been harder to watch her "friends'" reactions. When she was first diagnosed, it was the "exciting news" about town. Flowers, cards, and phone calls poured in. But after the surgury and first chemo treatment or two, during the months of hardship and sickness that followed, all these people forgot about her. Now, as my mom's learned that she might have a second kind of cancer, as she has struggled through painful radiation, and as the one-year anniversary of her mother's death (from terminal cancer) nears, nobody seems to care. No phone calls, no calls, no friendly visits...
I am reminded to work harder at preserving and nurturing my friendships...
