THE FINAL CHAPTER : A SPIRITUAL JOURNEY (Sept 2009 to Jan 2010)
At the Grotto of Our Immaculate Conception, in Lourdes
Daniel (14+ years old) (Tuesday 15/9/2009)
Day 6 in Lourdes …
You were wheeled back to your room a short while later, still asleep.
The doctor then came in with your scan film.
Mom motioned for him to talk to Dad and her outside your room. Even though You looked like You were in deep sleep, she did not want to take the risk of You overhearing whatever that was going to be said, especially when it did not feel like it was going to be good.
The doctor broke the news.
“We see an evolution of the original tumor,” he said.
Pause - for the message to sink in.
Evolution?
That was the first time Dad and Mom heard of the naughty cell being introduced in that way.
“There seems to be two unfamiliar images,” he added.
Two???
How Mom could remain standing after hearing that, she will never know.
All she knew was that whatever life she had left in her was painfully squeezed out of her body, leaving her completely stricken with shock.
There are 2 tumors???
“I’m very sorry,” he finished at last.
There was a dead and very final ring to his sentence.
A wailing voice started screeching non-stop in Mom's head.
OMG OMG OMG ...
