Sometimes life seems to bring too much bad news all at once. Other than to pull my head back into my shell and pretend to ignore, the only choice is to deal with it. In this past month two of my friends have been diagnosed with pretty scary things, cancer and an aortic aneurysm. Wishes and prayers are all we are able to share with them. We cannot 'fix' what has happened, only hold onto to hope that God will lend them strength to fight the battles that lie ahead, and they will defeat their physical enemies.
I hope that God is listening to all the prayers that are being said for Teda and Ken. I spend most of my life/time at work these days. That makes the people I work with my extended family. I don't go home to another family since I live alone. Wishing Ken well as he set off to fight his battle was like saying good bye to my Dad and not knowing when I would see him again. I don't want to say good bye to either one of them.
There is a hole left in my life without their presence.
I have had a dream disappear of my own, but it seems trivial in the extreme compared to my two friends diagnosis. It's funny where we place our own importance in the grand scheme of things. It was something that I had set my sights on as a way to increase my and another's happiness quota., a small step towards a better life. I am disappointed but I suppose I will have to find another way to do that happiness thing.
What would make me very happy right now? Hearing good news about my two friends.
