Our family tradition is to get together Christmas Eve night, have a wonderful meal at my parents home, open presents with Jeff and Cass and their kids, then they go home-we stay over night and open presents Christmas morning at my parents house. Have breakfast, then head home. We've always done this.
The last couple of years Jeff and Cass have been going out of town with Cass's family, so we have our party with them earlier. Which we did yesterday afternoon. It was the first time I've seen Jeff since he's been sick...
He looks absolutely wretched. He's lost a significant amount of weight, and he was not overweight to begin with. His color is poor. He is in a tremendous amount of pain, which is a big deal because he NEVER complains of pain. EVER. He's nausious with pain in his kidney and abdomin.
For the first time, I could actually imagine my brother sick. I mean SICK. It was a shock.
