We've been asked to keep this quiet from family, so I'm only posting details here where that part of the family doesn't visit (at least as far as I know. Please, G-d don't let them know about this place).
My MIL called today to tell dh that his father has prostate cancer.
My initial reaction was absolute shock. I wanted to cry. I wanted to hug my husband. It didn't help that we were in the middle of Target at the time. Great place to raid the dollar spot or find a cute top, but not the best place for a breakdown.
Now, my thoughts are, "Not again. Please, G-d, not again."

I'm a former military wife (the wife part is current, it's only the military part that's former), trying to find out where we fit in the civilian world.
Heeeeeeere's Reiza
About the title
In While They're At War, Kristin Henderson compares military life with going to Mars. When you return to the civilian world, you step off the spaceship and return to Earth for good, only to find you're out of place.
******************
She's right and we're adjusting. Welcome to my Earth where we still dream in Martian and search desperately for our place in the world.

I'm so sorry sweetie. I am here if you need me :(
I am keeping you in our prayers. I am hoping and praying that the diagnosis was made early enough that he has a complete recovery.
thinking of you...praying for you and your family.
Depending on how early they catch it, prostate cancer is fairly curable (if that's any comfort). Hang in there.
