Ella's WBC

News from "the other doctor" is: "Ella's WBC abnormalities are probably not significant, but they will test again in November."

I figure that "WBC" means White Blood Cell. But I still have so many questions... who will answer them?

Life is precious.

I go in a couple of days to the Pacific Northwest, where my sister and I will sort through Mama's things.

Dad married his brother's widow last month, an aunt I'm not familiar with. It isn't easy for me to accept this so soon after Mama's passing, but I know it will be best for those two to not be alone. My dad has had leukemia for several years.

Life is precious.

I love you Dad! And I'm sure I will grow to love Auntie.

I didn't know Uncle Allen had leukaemia. So sorry to hear that.
I suspect this trip, to sort through your momma's belongings, will hold challenges. I hope it also holds many warm memories for you and Dawn. I hope fun memories bring on happy laughter for the two of you as you reminisce, while touching her things.
Love you dearly! :)

I am sorry to hear of your loss. WBC means white blood count. Something I have had to watch carefully these last 6 years. Prayers for you and your family.
