Pre-takeoff checklist
With a heavy travel schedule for August, "terminal" just meant "a crowded place where you ignore the masses while trying to find the correct rental car counter." And now, at the end of August, the word has an entirely different meaning. We were walking into a restaurant in MA with two of my husband's business clients when he received The Dreaded Phone Call from his doctor. He has squamous cell esophageal cancer. Contrary to statistics, he's never smoked, drinks rarely, and is white. At the beginning of the month, he was strong. Now he is weak and receives much of his calories through a feeding tube.
I have no soppy advice about not taking things for granted. We've always approached life as an adventure, and things have a way of changing quickly sometimes. And sometimes the bleakest situations change again for the positive. Hopefully "terminal" will be just a crowded place again.
