Bad News

Today my mom received a call from my aunt saying that Grams was sent to the hospital, due to discomfort in her abdomen. I was quite worried to hear the news and I hoped that it was just a stomachache. However, the bad news just kept rolling in. Later on we found out that Grams had some sort of cancer in her intestines and had to go under surgery immediately. I was devastated, and felt completely helpless. It suddenly struck me that yesterday, Grams told me about her stomachache. If I had noticed the symptoms earlier, maybe she wouldn't be in such pain. I am sure the surgeons will make her feel better in no time, and I trust my Grandma that she'll recover quickly.
