The Weekend and A Sick Uncle?

 I had a wonderful weekend even though I did have to work today.

 

On Saturday, my sisters girlfriend had a baby shower for her in Toronto. That's about a 3 hour drive for me. Seeing how I was supposed to be working, I played hooky and picked my mom up half way there and headed for the big city.

 

She got tons of wonderful stuff, I managed to win some wonderful Healing Garden candles, and we got to go visit at my sisters house with her and hubby when the shower was over. It's the first time I've been up to her place since she got married over a year ago We ordered chinese in and didn't leave till 10:30 Sat. nite. It was an hour back to mom's and I stayed the nite there and then headed for work an hour away from her place this morning, stopped to visit my girlfriend and her little girl on the way home this afternoon and finally made it back home about 5 tonite. Very tired girl I am!!

 

Got some bad news from my mom when I learned that her brother has just been diagnosed with luekemia. He is only 64 and they will start him on chemo as soon as they can but for right now they are saying that it is hard to say whether tomorrow or any moment could be his last day. No hope for bone marrow transplants or anything like that because of his age.

 

My uncle is the sweetest guy, always has a smile on his face, a kind word to say, joking around with us kids since I can remember. He just got finished building a new home and was enjoying his retirement and all his grandkids and now life has played this cruel trick on him. I am hoping and praying that the chemo can do something for him.
