yet nothing short of an expectation.
Nearly three years ago my uncle was diagnosed with lung cancer. His life expectancy was estimated at 6 months. He went through chemo, and seemed to have gotten better. The cancer came back pretty rapidly though, and doctors decided there was nothing left to do. We all knew that the time would come sooner rather than later....
He held on for nearly three years and lost his life tonight. A week spent looking foward to the simple pleasure of getting drunk with my friends, and seeing esther play again.. will be cut short for an early morning service Saturday.
I'm at a loss for words and really I have no inspiration these days to speak poetically.
