Sad news

Sad news

I have been thinking about it. And I have also been thinking about posting about this... It may sound egoist, but I finally got to the conclussion that I NEED to tell you about this. My dear sister-in-law has cancer. After her second surgery, we were told, yesterday, she has metastasis.

Yesterday, I had an online class with Amanda, a brilliant Spanish student from Virginia. But I told her I had not strength enough to spend an hour in class. My brain, my mind, simply, were not in this world. I was shocked. And she really understood it. Amanda's is just 15, but the way she thinks, she acts, is as if she was an adult. Even better than some adults I have met in my life!

I don't know if telling the world about this is good or bad, but I had to do it. I really adore PNN, and hope to be here more often than I did before today. (guess why).

And a final smile; live goes on.:-) Things like this make us appreciate what's important in life.

I have two lovely boys in my life: my husband, my son. My son, my husband. And I know I'll have to be strong, they will need me.
