Cancer Chronicles - Angels

Tough weekend for my mother.

I brought dinner over to my parents yesterday

and my mother was in bed.

She has no strength at all in her legs.

She's been using a walker to get around,

but yesterday she just couldn't get up.

My poor father.

Why didn't he call me??

I think he's exhausted,

and doesn't know what to do.

I checked on my mother,

made sure my father was "ok"

then went home to plan the week.

I was stressing.

I would leave work early to be home

with mom so my Dad could work

Dylan could walk over after school.

I called my brother, his wife was available on Monday.

Should we call Hospice?

I don't know what to do....

WHY DON'T I KNOW WHAT TO DO!

Then the Angels arrived.

A little later I called my father to see how he was doing.

I heard all these voices in the background.

My mother's friends had stopped by,

saw what was going on and rallied!

They worked together to get her up

and brought her downstairs.

One, who happens to be a nurse,

arranged to take a few days off

to stay over night for a couple of days.

One is calling a friend who works with Hospice.

One got a pizza and they had a pizza party!

Ok, we're going to be ok for a few days.

These angels, are going to help us.

Help us figure out what we need to do.

I truly believe in Angels.
