Health Check-In Interrupted

It is Wednesday - the normal time for a health check-in, but today it is being interrupted. We learned of a terrible tragedy today that took the life of a special family friend. These last few weeks of health issues, frustrations, and dreaming of "normal"...or even making a better normal for ourselves....and then we get this news, a life taken. It was sudden, it was tragic, and just left today with a haze. A heavy pain that life does get complicated and frustrating....but it does keep going, until your reminded that it does not. That fact, that shock, that pain - leaves you breathless.

Today I was left just breathless - the faces of those who are feeling the loss so deep I can't begin to imagine are clouding my vision. The realities of how this person has made the world they were a part of better, but knowing their time is now done hit hard. Just not being able to shake this shock, I am letting it sink in, sending prayers to the departed and their family and recognizing that interruptions are part of real life. I fear being negative on the blog - we have a lot of things rolling and I don't want to turn into the Debbie Downer show (its been done much better than I could ever do!). On the same hand this is the story of real life and real life has interruptions. Thank you for understanding and tomorrow will come, and that is a blessing.
