I think that today was worse than yesterday. I hope tomorrow will be better.
I still have my four grand-parents. All of them. I look at them and think they are all fine, good health, alive.
From Dad, my Grand-Dad doesn't have a lot of family. My Grand-Ma lost a lot of her brothers and sisters this last years... Most of them from cancers.
From Mum, my Grand-Dad is the eldest, and he has three brothers and a sister. My Grand-Ma has two sisters, both are alive, but the husband of one of them died early this year. It was hard to hear the news. Even if we were not that close to this Great-Uncle, it was hard.
My Grand-Dad is 85. There are 60 years between he and I. I love him.
Then, it's his brother, Pierre. And André. And Jeanine. And Claude.
Claude is the youngest, and the father of my wonderful Godmother.
Few months ago, my Great-Uncle Claude went to the hospital to be operated of the cataract. It went well for few weeks, and now he has a lot of problem. His eyelids keep falling, he has a lot of trouble with his vision, the optic nerves are suffering.
He went back to the hospital, the doctor gave him some medics. Claude cannot take it because his body rejects it. He will have a new one soon. But if his body keeps rejecting the medics, the troubles could affect his lungs, and he can die.
Last time we had news was around Easter. My Godmother said that he was really tired and lost a lot of weight.
It's terrible.
My Great-Uncle Pierre, aka Pierrot, and his wife will celebrate their 50th anniversary this Summer.
We all hope they will because she was hospitalized in emergency this week-end. Doctors don't know what she has. What they know is that the problems come from her pancreas and liver. She lost a sister from a pancreas cancer. It was really fast, and we were all shocked ! She will have a biopsy tomorrow.
We all hope that the results will be ok... Visibly, doctors are a little bit afraid...
I still have my four Grand-Parents, and feel really lucky. Hearing those bad news was really hard !
Walking back home this afternoon, I met a friend, Caroline. We were scout-leaders together few years ago. It's nice to meet her and talk. She announced me a very bad news too today.
One morning, in March, she woke up and realized that she was not seeing anymore from one of her eyes. She went to the hospital with her parents and the doctor said that she had a tumour on the optic nerve. She lost her eye. Spent a lot of days at the hospital, seeing doctors. She told me she will be back to the hospital tomorrow for surgery, again. The doctor will try to extract a part of the tumour to analyse it.
She told me she was afraid, but not that much because she had faith. She knows that the doctors will do their best to help her. She said that she will not be angry if she stays one-eyed. She told me she will try to not cry.
Writing this post now makes me realize that cancelling Josh's gig on June 21st is not so terrible. Some people are living hardest than me.
At least, I can try to joke with my friends. And think about what Caroline told me earlier "I will pray for you in my hospital room cuz you deserve good things in your life."

Tomorrow, I will try to think about other things. No work, no hospital, just the pleasure to meet the great Milo, and maybe hearing that another baby is born (Valentine, a daughter from my parent's friends entered to the maternity hospital this morning.... Tonight, the little boy wasn't born...)
I will joke, I will laugh. I know I will.
