The Waiting...It's been a while since I submitted anything here. Noticed the name change and lots of other things as well as the new faces. It's very early in the morning, I've been up most of of a long and sleepless night waiting...
You see, my wife is going to have cancer surgery again. Hopefully, the third time pays all. So I sit here, listening to the clock tick for the seconds to pass by and merge into minutes, finally to hours. Waiting for the time to leave for the hospital...the waiting...
The worst part of all this is feeling helpless as my wife goes through an ordeal I can do nothing about...as we wait for the surgeon's sharp knife to descend...the waiting...
Hoping that finally, this will be the last time...the waiting..
Wishing it were me instead, but knowing that the world isn't how I'd wish it to be, but how G-d, B''H, intends...the waiting...

Hi Richard.
I hope all goes well and that this is indeed the last time she must endure surgery.
Hugs,
Dianne
Oh, Richard - please give her a big hug from me - I get worked up for radiation on Monday after my partial mastectomy and reconstruction a bit over 8 weeks ago. Marijo
Good to see you again. Sorry. You cannot allow things that you can't control to conquer you. I'll hold you and her in the Light.
I'll be praying for both of you. My husband just came home from hospital last night, and I know how helpless you feel, when loved ones are grappling with surgery or situations beyond our control.
So sorry to hear about your wife Richard. I will be praying for the two of you.
