It has been a rough week for me -- well a rough 24 hours for sure. In amongst a stressful work week I have received sad news from two friends. The first has been diagnosed with a terminal and untreatable form of cancer that has aggressively spread in her body. I say cancer is a 4-letter word. My heart aches for her family and her friends. And I ask myself why her, why this, why now? My only answer, "sometimes bad things happen."
The second friend sent a sad email to say the family dog had been accidentally and obviously unexpectedly hit by a car when it went outside earlier today. The outcome sounds rather grave but I haven't heard back. I know this dog was the bright light in the lives of my friend's two children. Again, I asked myself why? Again, "sometimes bad things happen."
I say we don't know from one day to the next what life holds and I plan to go home and hug my kids and my hubby and my kitty and my dog (plus I will give the fish an extra pinch of food). I know to be thankful and feel blessed for what I have because "sometimes bad things do happen."
