Wondering How You're Truly Coping

My sister, my good, best friend found something, something that has led to tests and further examination of an ailment that runs through her family. Many thoughts run through my mind, but mostly I'm wondering how she's truly coping with it all. The unknown can be hard and the waiting even harder - you just want answers, just want to know what's going on so that it can be remedied so you can move on. Thoughts of what-if creep into your head, and you start to think about everything from birth to death and all that comes in between, you look at the world and life differently, the little things don't matter anymore, and all you want to do is feel normal inside, physically and emotionally.

I am grateful that she checks on a regular basis, hopefully it is benign, but if it's not then she most likely caught it early and can get it treated. I pray and hope for her well-being. Just know that you are loved and I am here for you either way through it all up and down backward and forward no way around it. People are probably telling you not to worry, and I know that's hard not to do - give me some of your worries to ease your burden.
