To really spend TIME
I got the news that after a year of chemo and a successful result my brother’s cancer has surfaced again in his liver. I only learned from my wife in Italy we heard from my daughter who heard on facebook from my sister who heard from my brother directly. My brother Laird (see earlier post) had visited me just recently as we had just travelled together in Thailand to spend time together. At the time all seemed cured as his chemo was reported as successful. Well i just contacted him to get the heads up and found out he was in Jeddah KSA . We talked.. his voice was very distant and he was very deeply emotional as it seemed he was holding back to tell me the news, so I asked him. Then it came out as a low reserved flow of words… IT CAME BACK.
Those words said everything and then he said quitely to my question, “how bad?”, well he said they told me to put my thing in order and to have hope. The hope word didnt sound like hope but dispair. So I said come to Dubai for he week end, since I was back in Dubai from my weekly trip to Qatar. He gave some business excuses and then I asked if I could send him a ticket would me make time and come. It is set he is coming for a few days to be with me here… To spend some time together. Now I know the meaning. It is not expensive but irreplaceable…TIME.
