I have been putting off writing this blog for a couple of weeks now, partly because I didn’t have the energy to dwell on it and partly because there seems to be more time than with Grandma. This could simply be due to my parents being away and so updates are few and far between, and it is hard to get reliable details directly from Oma. The details I have are sketchy, but my Oma (grandmother) has cancer, and my uncle told my dad that he didn’t think Oma would see Christmas. All I know is that she is getting treatment for the cancer to try to stop it spreading.
I spoke to Oma last week on the phone. I think she cried when she told me she has cancer, and it was clear to me that she doesn’t think she’ll ever see me again. Of course that’s not true, but I haven’t decided when to travel to Melbourne to visit her yet. Or how long to stay. I just find travelling with Nathan is hard work, but I will arrange a trip soon.
Oh Chris, I’m so sorry to hear this. My thoughts are with you and your family *big hugs* to you.
If you do come to melbourne, you are more than welcome to have a ‘break’ at our place and we can watch the boys roll around together 🙂
Thinking of your during this tough time,
