Other Windows

His father suffered a heart attack 
several weeks ago.
When he was in the hospital
they discovered 
he had stage 4 lung cancer.

My friend was told in November
that she has stage 2 breast cancer.
We are the same age.
She is married and they have
a young daughter.

My father is almost sixty
and still works two jobs.
We had breakfast on Christmas
morning. My sister who is 
a registered nurse was at work. 

My seven year old brother opened
his presents while my father
took pictures with the camera
that is older than all of his children.
He was as happy as we all were then.
