Life isn't too bad right now, some mild dramas and anxieties... no more or less than anyone else, I'd guess.
Today is a sad day, though. A really, really fantastic woman I knew passed away this morning after a long battle with cancer... leaving behind a husband and two young children. We weren't best friends, and there are many many people feeling a deep and harsh loss today... but all I can say is that it is rare for me to meet someone in this world whom I instantly respect and like. I never saw anything but kindness, generosity, and patience from her, even when life was being so far from fair.
So, if you're the praying type... Maybe say one for Susan Norman as she goes on to whatever is next - though if there was ever anyone who had a fast-pass to heaven, it'd be her. And, maybe, say one for the family she left behind. The kids who have to feel this loss and deal with not getting to have Mom be there for all the big and little days - and the husband who has to go to bed alone tonight.
If you're not the praying type, maybe just give it a shot anyway? Who is it hurting... and what if it helps?
