The landlady told me that her friend's D's 4 year old daughter is being treated for leukemia. She was this really cute and thin girl with teeth missing, and the image of chemo being done on her was just too harsh. The prognosis is good, the landlady said, there's 99% chance of full recovery.
Hmm..How's D doing?
She has a stable marriage, so it's good.
I paused for a second, wondering if it was expected that couples break up over cancer. And then she continued.
What I meant is that they've got each other, their marriage has a really strong base to take them through.
Ah that makes more sense. Or so I thought - until I read this pointed from here.
