It's always been very apparent that my sister and brother-in-law are totally in love with each other. It's in the way they look at each other, touch each other in passing, and take care of each other. It's a beautiful thing to see.
I picked them up at 6 A.M. this morning to drive over to the States where Jim would have his colon cancer surgery. Many times before he was wheeled away to the operating room, Jim would look penetratingly at Sharon and ask if she was okay. Every once in a while, out of Jim's sight, Sharon would fall apart and cry out of fear for her beloved Jim.
Jim sailed through the surgery and his doctor said he'd seen nothing that looked cancerous other than the small mass he'd removed. We all know that doesn't mean the cancer hasn't already spread but we won't go there now. Right now, he's resting at the hospital with his loving wife spending the night with him. You'd think all that love and devotion would bring a cure, wouldn't you?
I hope so very much that it does.
