Christine closed the door to Anna's room. Inside, her classmate and friend had fallen asleep. Downstairs, Christine's mom, Donna, was grasping Anna's mother Sheila around the shoulders. "We should go, "she said. "Get some rest, huh?"Sheila nodded, blew her nose, and then waved them goodbye.
On the car ride home, Christine worked up the courage to ask the question on her mind, "Mom?Why was Sheila weeping?"She thought she knew the answer, of course:Anna's cancer. In the past, Anna had been the neighborhood dogooder, always going door to door for various causes the local animal shelter, suffering children in Africa, or the families who'd lost their homes to fire. Now Anna could barely feed or dress herself. Christine thought it so unfair when bad things like this happened to good people.
"Well, it's complex, but I guess you're old enough to understand."
"Understand what?"
"Understand that Anna is sick, yes, but Anna actually gets a lot of help. The government helps pay for a lot of her medicine. She gets meals delivered to her by a nonprofit. She even gets massages from local volunteers. "
"Wow!"
"Her life's still very hard, of course, and no one would trade places with her, but when you have cancer, everyone can see that you need help, "continued Donna. "They don't always see that the people around you are suffering. "
"People like Sheila?"
"Yes, did you know that Sheila took a break from her job to stay home with Anna?"
"No!"Christine was surprised. She had never thought about who took Anna to her appointments, or fed her when she was too weak to lift a spoon. Of course it was her family .
"Yes. So that means that many of the things they used to do with that extra money are all out the window now. They're even worried now about keeping the house. "
"Their house? So Anna might have to move, while she's sick?"
"If she doesn't get better soon, and the bills keep piling up. . . "Donna pulled into the driveway, and just in time. Her cheeks were shining with tears.
