Would you care?

My dad's been in the hospital nearly two weeks. He had a lung infection and then they found swollen lymph nodes in his body, so took a biopsy. We are waiting to see if it's cancer, (non Hodgkin's lymphoma)which unfortunately they said it does look probable..😟

I bought him a small gift on the second day he was in there. They were not expensive, two little heart and bear figures...he protested to any gift in an abrasive way at first. I told him not to worry they did not break the bank. He knows I'm unemployed. But my mom said today he was offering to give one of them to a nurse. I don't know, it made me feel low. But I do overthink sometimes. Would you care Really, or just brush it off?

Family's are hard. Especially when there is a painful past involved. Maybe the nurse commented how she thought it was cute and he figured since he had two he would give her one. I wouldn't try to overthink it, easier said than done I know. But just be glad somebody is getting joy out of the gift that you gave. I pray that the tests come back good and that he will get better soon.

@Cigarguy Thank you...it's true maybe the nurse said it's cute. Or he probably was trying to reward her in some way. He used to give a lot of his snacks or Twinkies at his nursing home to CNA s when they helped lol. Ty again 🌷
