really? REALLY?
There are things for which you try to prepare. You take phone calls at 2 am, and talk for hours. You touch base with experts so you have good information to share. You feel thankful for the deep and lasting friendships that have graced your life. You consider your own mortality which ironically makes the day a little sweeter. You think about upcoming appointments and know what can be canceled or moved. You are ready.The test results should be in. You know they're going to see the doctor this morning, you just don't know how long it will take. Should you call? Or just wait. Prepared. Ready to take the hit and start moving.
Then she calls.
"It's nothing!" she screams.
You are speechless. You are not prepared for this. But as joy shoves despair to the ground and steps on its face, the relief starts to bloom and you become acquainted with the taste of fear as it flees. She's fine. It's nothing.
Really.

I love when the "nothing!" phonecall comes.

It was only when my dad said the word "benign" after my sister's lumpectomy that I realized I hadn't been really breathing for weeks...glad you got to take that really deep breath too.
AWESOME!
