The Story: Part 10 Leaving WalMart, Knowing.....

The Dr. tried to be reassuring, saying, "I am glad you were proactive and I want to see you next week. Tuesday, my nurse will call for an appointment. Gloria try to have a good Thanksgiving with your family."

Terry and I left WalMart in Evanston, knowing that my cancer was back. Does the word DEVASTATED MEAN, anything to you. I was crying, "It's not fair!" I screamed. We got in the car and just sat there, in Shock!! "Gloria, we have to call your girls and let them know." "Your daughters need to know." Terry explained. "I can't call Jenni, she's driving she'll be a mess." "I can't call Jenni!! Not yet!" I blubbered through the tears. Jenni was going to Star Valley for Thanksgiving as well. She was about an hour behind us. "Okay, then I'll call Janell."
Terry made the call to Janell and explained that sure enough her mom had cancer. Janell, was so strong. She told Terry and I, "Mom, Dad we have to be strong and get through this." "If anyone can get though this you can mom." I asked her where she was. "I am Debbie and Kraig's" she said. "Will you do me a favor, and ask Debbie to give you a Mom hug!!" " I love you so much!"

I got myself under control and we left the WalMart. As we were driving I looked in the rear view mirror.. "Hey Terry, Lee is following us." "No he's not" "I think it's Lee!" "What would your brother be doing in Evanston in a snowstorm?" "I don't know but that is LEE, but that's not Erica with him?!!" We came to a stop light and I opened the drivers door and put my head out the side and stuck my tongue out at him. "I sure hope that's Lee."

Sure enough he drove up next to us and unrolled his window. "What are you doing? You crazy brother" He was bringing Daryl's wife Chelsey's family to Star Valley for Thanksgiving with his family. It was so ironic to see my brother, I needed his smile to get me through the next few hours. ....more to come
