2.5 yrs ago Luke’s Uncle, ‘Al My Pal’, was diagnosed with cancer. Luke of course was in Seattle with his beautiful new daughter, Lucy, and Allison. On the day of the surgery as I was sitting in the waiting room while the 4 hour surgery was going on Luke text me: “I’m so sorry I’m not there with you, Dean. I love you so much. I love both of you so much. You know If I were home I’d be right there with you holding your hand. I’m there with you in spirit holding your hand.”
Today as I sit in the waiting room every morning for Al’s recurrent radiation treatment I think of these words and know that Luke is with me everyday holding my hand.
