There was a Knock at the Door ...


In a hospital, you think it's going to be a doctor or a nurse.  Or maybe the lunch lady, if it's midday.

Who could have guessed that it would be these familiar villains instead?

There was silent, stunned staring as they advanced upon us, waving their light sabres energetically.  Darth Vader's words were incomprehensible through his electronic voice box, but we gathered from his hand shake that, this time, he came in peace.  Middle Son was speechless.

A few minutes later, the endocrinologist arrived and bravely chased them off.
Insulin needles-1.  Light sabres-0.

The force is with us.  Hope it is for you too.

  2. I somehow missed your last post and so had to backtrack before I knew what was happening.

    I wish there were something practical I could do to help, I really do!

    But my thoughs are with you and your family and I hope that knowing people care gives you strenght (although I can see you have plenty of that already!).

  3. Hmmm...he might have prefered Princess Leah..but then again, I think that Darth did overcome the "dark side" and he would be the one to help get that Leukemia right out of there! You guys have a really cool hospital! Hang in there!

  7. How fabulous.
    I can imagine it would have been a little disconcerting to see Darth & mate entering the room.
    Have you seen Eddie Izzard's skit about Vader and the lunchroom? Here's the link for a start of the week giggle..

I know Captcha is a pain. I've had to re-instate it until I figure out what else to do about anonymous spam.
