My sister called me, and her chest xray was perfectly clear. YEE HAW!! Now we just need to get through the surgery on Tuesday, and we will know how she needs to proceed. I am hoping that she will not need to proceed and that the surgery will get it all, the lymph nodes will all be clear, and she will just need to recover from surgery and will be cancer free. Chemo sucks.

AND I seem to have reconciled with my daughter!! I thought for sure that this would go on for a long time and the hurt would just keep on coming. But I found this beautiful poem yesterday while searching for info on how to heal a family rift, and I emailed it to her. My message said; "Jen, you are one of my best friends. Let's not have that stop now." She called me right after she got the email, and we had a lovely conversation. Of course we talked about other things, and not the reason for our fight, but we talked normally, and happily, and at the end of the conversation she said, "Bye, I love you". It just made my heart melt...

I will keep on insisting that she needs help, but I won't be forceful, and I will also work through her husband. Someday she will be better.

Here is the poem. It's a beautiful link, so pretty, so you should check that out too.

Over the years we experience hurt
By those whom we love the most
We allow it to grow and tear at our hearts
Until it lingers as an ever-present ghost.

Harsh words that are said during a family rift
Cause confusion to hinder our way
We justify our anger while defending our pride
With our feelings of deceit and betray.

The years go by; we go on with our lives
Without resolving the distant breach
"It does not matter," we say to ourselves
As we keep them beyond our reach.

If we only knew that Time and Love
Are the only things we have in this world
And the Time spent apart; the Love that we lost
Is more valuable than the harsh words hurled.

But it's never to late to make that first move
To heal the wounds that maim our heart
One telephone call or a letter by mail
Is the beginning of a brand new start.
