Amen

Herself speaks.

The phone rang just after 8 this morning. It was my doctor's office.

"Your biopsy results came back benign."

Hallelujah, and amen.

It has been a roller coaster of mental contemplation for the past week and a half, and I am glad that the road I feared is not mine to travel right now. To know that I am spared from having to wear a brave face in front of those whom I love, while confronting Things Terrible, is a lovely thing indeed.

I still have many things to do, and my Important People still need love and care. And with grace, I will still have plenty of time.
