Front Porch Light

It used to be that we turned the porch light on if company was coming or we ordered in, it was something welcoming. Since Cancer has been in our life the front porch light means that an ambulance has been called. Prettty sad how a illness can change how you precieve something as mundane as a light.It was dark tonight when I returned from Thanksgiving dinner at my sons. I came in, let the girls out and went to sit in the living room. The neighbours front porch light was on. Marj lost her husband Jim to cancer almost two years ago and she had surgery last Thursday. My mind went into overdrive so I called her up to make sure she was alright. We widows look after one and other. She had just ordered pizza much to my relief.
