I'm Kind of a Big Deal

1/12/12

Yesterday we found out just how much mettle that Marc has.  Jean would be alone that day while Edd took Elizabeth to the doctor.  She had expressed that she was afraid to be alone.  The nausea and wanting to vomit feelings were still heavy on her mind.  Knowing that, Marc called her and stayed on the phone with her for almost two hours.  She reported that it was the highlight of her day.  During that time she never felt the pain nor nausea as her mind was taken onto other things.  This was a noble gesture by my standards.  Jean said, “Now we know why Patricia loves him so”.

Also, my mind has been wandering from thing to thing and person to person since Jean told us of her cancer.  The genealogy of the family has had me dwelling on family here and gone.  What did they do when loved ones were going through cancer treatment?  How did it affect their lives?  Jean had found out a lot about Mother’s side of the family.  We knew so little about Daddy’s side.

So, yes, Jean.  Just like your T-Shirt saysl - "I'm Kind of a Big Deal".
