“I can’t believe that I’m going to miss the wedding.” Gran all but pouted from her hospital bed.
“Don’t worry about the wedding. Let’s focus on you getting better.”
I sank back down into the chair opposite her. She had been doing so well. The cancer diagnosis had come in two years ago, and we hadn’t been sure if she was going to make it. But she had recovered slowly but surely. Then, bam! It had hit all over again. Stronger than ever.
I couldn’t even believe we were here again. That, on the eve of Lila’s wedding, I’d be waiting to find out how long Gran had left to live. I had to be back in a few hours for the dress rehearsal. Lila had told me that I could skip if need be, but I wanted to be there for my best friend. But I also needed to be here for Gran.
