Life it happens to us all. It's easy to forget that. It's not easy today. I have a friend, she actually graduated high school with my daughter. But we are connected in many ways. We actually met through a work affiliation. We were sitting there and connected the dots...we lived in the same town, she graduated in my daughter's class, and oh...she and I share the same birth date. We aren't best friends, but in that work environment she is my friend. The end of last year she was diagnosed with leukemia. Ugh!!! How is that possible. She's strong, she's young...she's in for the fight of her life. She was doing well...today I hear...not so good...it's back to the hospital for a much more aggressive treatment, like the first one wasn't tough enough? My heart aches for her, and her parents. I can't even begin to think what it would be like.
Later today I'm scrolling through my Facebook newsfeed and I see multiple posts to another friend, "heard you and the family were in an accident"? Ugh? No response, looked on his wife's page...no posts hmm? Okay, text the same mutual friend that told me earlier today about my young friend going back to the hospital...Yes, it's true. My friends wife and children were indeed in a car accident. There are some broken bones. A lot of bumps and bruises...but they will all be okay. I am some what relieved. Auto accidents have indeed touched my life very closely, having lost 3 close relatives to the hands of others poor driving. I've reached out...hoping to prepare a meal and drop it off when they are ready for it. I got an update from my friend late tonight, a bit more serious than originally thought. There is indeed some permanent damage to his wife's leg. The simple moral of this story DON'T TEXT AND DRIVE!! The person who hit his family, wasn't even looking when they crossed the middle line and smashed in to them.
Just one of those days that make my heart sad. I wish everyday could be full of sunshine and rainbows, but sometimes...they just aren't.
