All Times are not Good Times

All times are not good times. Right now is one of those times. That does not mean there can't be good times in bad times. Nevertheless, some times are bad times. Sickness sucks.

Cancer is a nasty word. Maybe the word is not nasty, but what it stands for is. Cancer was discovered growing in someone important to me.

The good news is that the cancer was effectively removed and will not likely return.

The bad news is the removal of the cancer has harmed a body and taken one person a little too close to death's door.

The good news is the crowd of fine people who came to stand by a hospital bed, who sent messages, who baked goodies, who searched out radios, who called frequently and who didn't call when rest was needed for gathering strength.

We all hope it won't be long before the patient is freed from the confines of the hospital soon and  will once again have the opportunity to see the flock of robins that arrives this time of year, the ravens and crows cavorting in the air and the grass getting ever greener.
