Sad Sunday For Many

Good Morning,

I usually do not post personal comments but today has started out by being a sad day for me and many others and I need to talk. My coworker and good friends mother was taken to Hospice Friday and the family was told she will not be going back home. She was diagnosed with cancer last February and she has fought a very hard battle. I talked to my friend this morning and the news today is that her mom's blood pressure is dropping and she had a fever. The family has remained right by her side for the last 7 months. I pray for a peaceful journey for all of them-especially their mother. The good news is that when she goes to the other side she will be back again with her husband who passed a couple of years ago.
Secondly, I made my morning coffee and sat down to read todays paper and saw a name I recognized. My 2nd cousin's husband drowned yesterday at the age of 39. He and his 15 year old son were hunting and evidently they had used a boat to get to the area where they were going to hunt. The boat began to drift out a little ways and Ron jumped in to get it back to shore. He never resurfaced. His 15 year old son tried to locate him but wasn't able to. He leaves behind a wife and three children. My heart aches for them.
My son has great concerns about his job. Evidently the owners packed up and moved back home last week-leaving the business in the hands of the bank. He has a wife and a daughter who will turn 1 on the 17th and also a new baby on the way (March 2010).
My plate is full right now and I ask any of you who would like to to pray for these special people. I would appreciate it.

Thanks for reading my ramblings
