I called back tonight just to check in again - you know after a rough day like yesterday, I figured I'd better check back.
They told me some very sad news... Angel's Daddy was diagnosed with prostate cancer. He needs lots of prayers. Angel's Mom said that Angel is very good with him and lays in his lap and licks his hand to comfort him. But she knows rough life more than any of us, and I know she'll help him through it.
I can imagine what all they're going through - and perhaps this is why they decided to keep Angel. I know when I had my own cancer issues, it was not a happy time. And I have loved many people who have passed on from cancer - some even prostate cancer, so I am very sad. I know it's not necessarily a death sentence - I'm still alive, and my grandfather lived 14 years with prostate cancer. Still, I wish I could take away his upcoming battles. But at least he's got a new little friend who can help see him through and comfort him in his hard times. It's the least she can do for what he's doing for her.
On a happy note, Angel's still doing wonderful. She is eating and drinking and acting like nothing ever happened.
