“HONEY, WE NEED TO TALK” … (AFTER THE GAME)
“Honey we need to talk,
I just got my results from the doctor:
Can you wait just a minute?
The ball is on the twenty-yard line
“She says I have cancer
I have to start chemo on Monday”
I’ll be right with you
You know I’ve waited all week for this game
“But I have cancer!
I’m scared”
At half-time we can talk about it
Just calm down for a few more minutes
“Honey, I can’t wait!
This is serious!”
I know, but this game will decide who goes to the playoffs
My team is behind right now
“Monday I will need help all day
Can you call my work and let them know?”
After the game, we will work it out
Can’t you give me a break?
“This is the worst news I could have gotten!
All you care about is that game!”
It’s the big game
You know how much I love you
“I am so scared, and you don’t understand
This is going to be a long, hard road for us”
But the game is almost over!
The score is tied; five more minutes
“Will you be able to drive me on Monday?
Can you handle everything else; will you be there for me?”
Yes dear… After the game

About the Book
Sometimes life’s journey takes us places we’re not prepared to go. We often need the inspiration and support of someone who has been there before us – to help make sense of the unfamiliar and appreciate the emotions we’re experiencing.
Author Kenneth Esrig shares the exhilaration, challenges and doubts that face us when we take life head on, with chapters such as “Innocent Children,” Young and Old” and “Days Wasted Cannot be Replaced.”
“Loves’s Journey” weaves stories of love and loss that are inspiring and uplifting. “Honey We Need to Talk…(After the Game)” tackles the issue of receiving a positive diagnosis and the difficult struggles that follow.
“Take Time to Pray” evokes a universal need for faith and prayer, without espousing one religion, in our search for hope, happiness and love.
