Birthday Blues?

Yesterday was my birthday, but I didn’t celebrate. I have had many celebrations in my life.

Yesterday was time for walking in the San Diego beauty and helping Jeff who will have cancer surgery next week.

Jeff needed to visit his urologist today. The last time he had done this, Jeff passed out in the Doctor’s office.

He was scared and I asked if spending the afternoon supporting him would be something he would like.

Through the tears, he cried that it would be.

Jeff didn’t pass out, but my birthday was full of waiting and waiting some more.

I found a lady in the lobby, stricken with cancer, squinting at the endless list of doctors on the Directory wall.
