A dear sister in my ward is in the final weeks or days of her battle with cancer. Today I went to visit her and to see if I could help her daughter who is visiting from Utah and has a 2 year old and a one year old. I will take the girls tomorrow.
Today was a good day for Edie Kaye. She woke up happy, smiling, laughing, wondering where she's been. Since I saw her last week, she had rapidly declined and yesterday did not move at all and only cried from pain. So today was a good day. Edie Kaye reported today that she had nearly gone "home" yesterday. She looked so beautiful today. An interesting word for someone who has no hair and is bloated from the morphine; but she was truly radiant.
I've decided cancer is the one door to death and heaven that we actually get to watch and watch and watch open and close. It creates such emotional turmoil. She only has 2 months. Wow, she beat the two months. She might be OK. Oh, now she only has two months... and on and on for the past 3 years. It was truly a blessing and a priveledge to see her today. I hope that somehow I can help her daughters and husband through the rest of this.
