"Life is what happens to you while you're busy making other plans."
This saying was never so true as it has been for me recently. During the last couple of weeks, I have made two trips to the emergency room with two different family members. One was close by and one was several hours away. Subsequently, there was also a lot of time spent in a hospital. Both people are making forward progress, but it will be a long slow road.
These events have brought a lot of things into focus, the most important being how lucky I am to have supportive family and friends. Also, it reminded me how very grateful I am for the people who have chosen the medical profession as their calling. It is not a job I could do. God Bless all of you.
I'm so sorry to hear about your family emergencies. It's exhausting to deal with but you're right, it does clarify what is truly important. Praying for you and yours.
ReplyDeleteIt has been not only exhausting, but very stressful. Nothing is every simple. However, I appreciate your prayers.
DeleteOh, I am so sorry to hear about these difficult days for you and your family. Saying a prayer for you.
ReplyDeleteThanks for your concern. I have to keep looking for the positive developments in every day. Sometimes it's too easy to focus on the problems.
DeleteI've been feeling a little concerned about the quiet here but had been hoping you were just taking a creative break. I'm so sorry about these emergencies with your loved ones. I'm wishing you much rest and renewal.
ReplyDeleteI wish everyone in my family much rest and renewal on many levels. We all need it. And, who knows? This may turn out to be a good creative break also.
