telling

My sister and Piper, having a frozen yogurt date.

SIS: Pipey, you know Dad had this thing growing in his body, right?
PIPER: Yeah.
SIS: And he had that surgery where the doctor took it all out.
PIPER: Yeah.
SIS: Well, the doctor wants to make sure there’s none of it left anywhere in his body.
PIPER: Okay.
SIS: So ….. Daddy needs to have these treatments to make sure it’s all gone.
PIPER: Oh, okay.
SIS: With these treatments, though, it will look like Daddy’s getting sicker — for a little while.
PIPER (after a pause): Okay.
SIS: I just wanted you to know that Daddy might look sicker, but he has to get a little sicker so he can get completely better, okay?
PIPER: Okay, Mommy.
SIS: Okay.
PIPER: It’s okay, Mommy.

Brave girls both.
