Yesterday, I received a message from our daughter-in-law confirming her step-dad's cancer. It's in his lungs and spreading to other parts of his body. He's going to see another doctor, but I'm afraid he will get the same news.

Then last night, Paul got a phone call about a friend of his who is in the hospital and has cancer throughout his body and inoperable, also. Bruce, the first man, is about 65 and Gordon is about 80.

This morning, Paul got another call telling him that a good friend had died suddenly earlier this morning. While the news was a shock, it wasn't unexpected because Harvey has not been very well for a long time. So it's a sad day for us.

Besides all the sad news, Misti didn't come in today because she is sick and I think I'm coming down with the same bug. Because I'm not feeling well, I cancelled my therapy session this afternoon.

I've always heard that bad news comes in three's, and it sure was true this time.
