Good evening but bad news...

I had a great evening with Durin and Ceridwen.  We just hung out and talked and then enjoyed the hot tub.

But late last night one of my favorite cousins sent me an email to tell me she has cancer.  Hopefully, it's curable.  She has Papillary Thyroid cancer and they think she's still at stage one.  This cancer has a 97% treatment rate so we have good reason to be hopeful that a complete thyroidectomy will solve the problem and leave her cancer free.  However, it's still scary and she's a long ways from family other than her husband and daughter.  I'm worried and scared for her.
