I am trying to understand.
It seems unnatural.
There is urgency in the air.
I feel upset.
The ultrasound showed the mass.It seems unnatural.
There is urgency in the air.
I feel upset.
Until the test it was unseen.
If only I could undo the results.
As each day unfolds I stay updated.
She is uncertain what tomorrow will bring.
Ultimately each of us will face the unknown.
Until we go our separate ways we are just us.
She will find her Utopia when it is her time.
I will utter my sorrow.
My usual has changed. My family is united.
We are unanimous. With unbridled love we gather.
She is utmost in our thoughts and prayers.
A new life way is ushered in. This is uncharted territory.
I have unearthed my greatest fear.
Unequivocally she has the faith that passes all understanding.
There is an undertone of joy.
May the Universe smile on us for a little while longer.
It is ABC Wednesday.
Today we celebrate the letter U.
Achingly written, achingly read. I am so sorry.
ReplyDeleteOh, Sherry, I am so sorry. A loved one's trauma is much harder to bear than our own. Surely the U's came quickly in this post.
ReplyDeleteOur thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go through this time of uncertainty.
ReplyDeleteYou've described your fears with great dignity. My thoughts are with you and yours.
ReplyDeleteUltimate love expressed here. Your Sister is still in my prayers as you are.
ReplyDeleteSherry, I am sorry that your sister and your family are going through this, but glad that your family is united and your sister has faith. Such times are so difficult and yet it is amazing that joy can shine through as well.
ReplyDeleteSherry...Last year, at this time, I was in your shoes. It was such a difficult time. My daughter had cancer. Fear was constantly gnawing at my bones. But our hearts are stronger than we know, and it is our job to be strong for the one in peril. (A book called "Loving What Is" by Byron Katie helped me through.)
ReplyDeleteSherry, This post was profoundly moving - my thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. Again, your sister is so fortunate to have you. Please take the time to take care of yourself during this difficult time as well.
ReplyDeleteMy friend....I have no words.....
ReplyDeleteBeautifully expressed - I am sorry for your sorrow and for the cause of it.
ReplyDeleteif this is about what i think it is then i know what you are going through as my wife has just gome through it and it is very upsetting but there is light at the end even if the vision is blurred before we get there.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic list of U words and well organized as well!
ReplyDeleteUnited ~ a wonderful strong sentiment! Thinking of you & your family Sherry ♥
