...as some of you know, my Deputy Sheriff older sister, Sarah Jo Howard has been battling colon cancer for the last couple of years. It’s been back with a vengeance for the last 6-8 months. She’s been back in the hospital, this go-round with two ports, the masses are back, they’re dilating her colon, she’s stopped up pretty bad and she can’t do her thing.
I haven’t commented on this in a while...it looked like she had this licked. But that f’ng cancer rears its’ ugly head when it wants to. Now it’s a game changer...with some cancer in her abdomen now. She’s lost 40lbs in the last few months.
We ten-foot tall, bullet-proof old Jareheads think we can fix it all...but I can’t fix her. I’d swap places with her in a NY minute! I’m soon to be 53, the youngest of 11 kids...I’ve lost my mom, dad, two older brothers, but this has got me in a different place when it comes to a sister...with the outcome that fear. Fear ain’t never been no problem to me...until now!
I don’t know what to do about this...I’ve spent a many o’ sleepless night, then have to deal with that f’ng C-17 avionics/flight control regimen *s-wordt every damn day. It’s been taxing to say the least...blood pressure been high for the last several weeks on a daily basis. Situations like this keeps ya strung pretty tight most of the time. I’ve been involved in some bad, f’d up situations...but I’m spent right about now!
If some of you folks pray, please say a prayer for my sister. If some of you folks send well wishes, please do.
Was tough to type this...
