Old Lives Matter!

by Ogden


Alphabet challenge: Begin every word with a different letter.

Ominous news, X-rays revealed cancers! 
  
Survivable? Knowable? Just guesses.

Zillion hopeful questions.

Yearning tolerable answers.

Feeling bereft. Very distressed. 

Waiting. Every lingering moment interminable.

Prognosis?

Unanswerable.

There are people who shrug and say, 'Oh well, she's had a nice long life. You can't live forever.' That's true, but her loved ones know if she survives this crisis, she well might continue to enjoy her nice life for years.

Note: No disrespect to the ardent 'Black Lives Matter' movement should be inferred.
