I am going to start filtering some of my more private musings. Since blogger does not have a tool for that, you will need to visit my Live Journal and ask to be friended there. I will continue to post Daily Gratitude and other subjects here. There is also a FAQ for my Journal at the same link.
Sister (3rd entry today)
| Saturday, July 26, 2003 @ 09:18 So my Dad, ever the pragmatic Gemini (is that an oxymoron?), doesn't think my sister has much time left. Just got off the phone with him (since neither my mother nor brother called me with a promised update last night) and his opinion is that she won't make it to Xmas, and it might be any day now. I'm trying to figure out whether this is just his usual preparing himself for his daughter's death or if he has a realistic assessment of her prognosis. There have been a number of times over the last five years that he's said "she won't last til Xdate" and been proven wrong. However, the core disease is attacking the lungs, and has been for the better part of the year. That's usually what kills people with her diagnosis. We've known that since she was 3 years old. After 27 years of her being stubborn, it's hard to accept, though. Maybe he's wrong again. I need to go curl up with boy now.
