A spoon full of sugar

I always pick up when my mum calls, especially if it's a strange time of day. I'm waiting for the news. Shed called yesterday and although it wasn't 'the' news there was more news. An update, a keeping me in the loop.
They suspect my dad has diabetes.
This struck me as another cruel blow. When your life consists of a sad and slow routine, one of his few joys is carrot cake, a sweet moment at the end of each meal.
For now, and who knows how long, he has to cut back on sugar.
This next thing, this is cruel.
VHL just is cruel.
