... goes out to a friend's family who lost an addition to their family yesterday ... while another continues to fight on tucked away in the sterilized environment of the ICU not knowing or maybe knowing how many people are pulling for him to beat the odds.
... goes out to my friend who sounded so emotionally distraught and was struggling with the idea of not having a niece, and perhaps not even having a nephew ... or being an uncle.
... goes out to my friend's sister who has wanted nothing more to be a mother for as long as I can remember. Who has had so much trouble, and felt so blessed and ... happy ... to be having not one but two children to call her own. Only a few weeks ago she beamed with the joy of an expectant mother. Now she sits in a hospital being the rock that her family can lean on.
People find strength at the strangest of times while others crumble believing all hope is lost.
In the grand scheme of things it's a sobering reminder that nothing in life is a given and that we should truly appreciate all that we have while we have it, and not after the fact ...
