A Questionable Economy

A friend was recently telling me a truly tragic story of her friend’s apparent lung cancer. She told me about how the lady had really turned her life around and how she has young children. Then she cried.

I was full of feeling and fear and sympathy. And I was only able to say, “I’m sorry.”

Then, as we rode in the car, she made a quick call to check on the family. She quickly whispered, “It’s not cancer!” I was driving, she was still on her phone, so I gave a quick thumbs up.
