"That" call

I’m sitting at home right now waiting for a phone call. A bad phone call, the kind you don’t get excited for when the phone buzzes across the table. I’m waiting to hear an update on my oldest uncle; he’s gone to spend his last few weeks at home in Calgary instead of a hospital. You may remember me posting about our drive to Calgary last May for the funeral of my Cousin Chad, this is his dad. He has Cancer and sadly he won’t be with us for much longer. When that phone rings I hope it’s not heartbreaking although it’s expected. My only hope is that my Aunt and 2 cousins can somehow find peace amidst all the loss.
