silver lining

We talked to Dr. Nichols last night. He in the cancer doctor in Missoula. Some good news is that the tumor in her liver is in a small lower lobe so surgery is an option later on when the chemo starts to shrink all of the cancer cells.
The support our family has received is unbelievable. There hasn't been a moment that has gone by where we haven't received an encouraging word, a hug, or an offer of help. It humbles me. It makes me think of all of the times I have remained silent because I either didn't know what to say or I was afraid to say the wrong thing. Now I realize it doesn't matter what is said, it is just the connection with someone who feels your pain for a moment that makes a person feel better.
