Still in the fight

[81388*]

OK, now I am just venting. Before W left, we were talking about my brother's condition, and that she is going to be up there to visit. Well I had cards for both brother and BIL, wrote out card for bro, signed but left blank card for BIL(based on previous discussion).

I had left both cards together by her stuff. She picks them up and asked what hospital my brother is in. I thought that was a good thing, when will I learn? I started to tell her, and she gets this confused look on her face and I ask what is wrong, she said she didn't know how much time she would have, etc. I told her no big deal, I would just mail it in the morning.

She has known this man for 25 years. She has laughed with him, fought with him, had him stand in her wedding, attended his, stood at his children's babtism, buried relatives with him, shared joy, triumph, and disaster with him, but is unable to make time to visit him in the hospital?

Truth be told, it is probably a good thing, no telling what he would have said to her is she showed up.
