The story of uncle Bill Smart louise hayes no hay casualidad, sino causalidad

So many laughs we have on Wyckford pond. Neighbor Bill and I sit on his dock and welcome back our friend the Osprey. We share Iowa stories and it connect us to a place of mutual endearment. I was able to Skype my cuz Anita & hubby "Mannywelloved"  in Mexico for a very special love fix. His face comes to the screen on my computer and I feel immediate overwhelming joy. How can you love two people so much?
I have not seen my uncle Bill for 40 years due to a divorce but my memories of him are cherished. He is on my bucket list of people to see. I was amazed to find out that my own uncle had a type of melanoma neck cancer that was removed from his neck. They couldn't find the primary in his case too.
Every profession has a few assholes and his oncologist was one of them. He asked him what if we can't find the primary? His response was, "oh don't worry it will find you".
"The rabies don't go away until the dog dies".
Bill Smart is the kind of man that takes that kind of information and said, "great, life is a gift anyway and whatever happens is up to GOD"!  Bill Smart may even outlive that doctor for all we know.
It's all about the grace of God. I just stopped writing to answer the phone and talking with Patti when an email came in from Mary. She is the cancer support group coordinator. It was about Frank. He sat next to me in the first group meeting his cancer had come back after five years.
This is what it said>

Such good news, Theresa.  Frank and you have been held close by all of us.  There has been much concern by group members with Frank's news of needing surgery after his 5 years of being cancer free.  We will be looking forward to hearing the update at group in May from Frank!! 

Take good care,

Mary

Hi Mary and all of Frank's fellow cancer group members!
Guess what...Frank is home.  Dr. Tsue told him he could go home once he could drink and eat bland food.  Since this morning's breakfast went down pretty good,  the nurse called and told me to come and get him because he was ready to go home.  He is resting and doesn't seem to be in pain.  I just have to encourage him to keep drinking water, eat soft food and take his meds.
Thank you, Mary and all who have sent him prayers and good wishes for his recovery.  God heard our prayers...Dr. Tsue did not have to graft his tongue because the incision was not as large as it could have been.
Again, Mil gracias!
PS  please share the good news with whomever asks for Frank's surgery results.
Thanks!
Theresa
