Well, this is kind of a funny story. My in laws, Greg and Fabriena, have been in Costa Rica celebrating their 25th wedding anniversary! They have been enjoying the sun, the surf, and relaxation without the rest of us! Miranda spoke to them just briefly I think one night. But other than that, there has been NO communication. So Greg and Fabriena have had no idea of what has been happening.
Well, they land in the United States, and Fabriena called the house to make sure everything was ok, and just to check in. After a few minutes of pleasantries, Miranda broke the news. She was going to wait until they got home, but she burst. Fabriena's reaction was a gasp, and then she turned to Greg and said, "Rob has cancer."
Greg's response, "Rob who?"
Glad I have made such a lasting impression in the family!
So tonight has been quite a shock for Greg and Fabriena, coming home exhausted and sun burnt, and finding out their son in law has cancer. So I managed to not only give Chi Chi an unforgettable birthday present, but Greg and Fabriena a late (or early depending on how you want to look at it) anniversary gift.
Schylar was just as supportive and great as everyone else. Of course, she knew what lymphoma was, and didn't tell me! But that's ok. She was super sensitive to what Miranda and i have been going through the past few days. She's really an amazing person; very caring towards other people. And at a time that Miranda and I needed comfort, she was right there.
