Hellish Nightmare

you were always there to dry my tears and play with my hair now the time has come for me to be strong for you. your going through a tough time never thought it could happen. it happens to other people not me is what your thinking. treatments, check-ups, doctors and hospitals. we that that was over when your heart troubles were through. now its a lump a little over a centimeter in mass but enough to know something's not right. went for a check-up, leadking to a consultation. worries, nerves, and jitters with all the family in the waiting room. you come out to explain your in tears. we know its not good. the early stages of breast cancer is what we hear its benign. all in one spot a week til its removal a week til its gone. so man emotions getting hugged all about. then i see her break down and cry wet hot tears running down her face scared is what i see and feel i turn my head. i can't stand to see i want to be strong want to be supportive. like she was for me but i don't know if i can. SCARED.
