All my thoughts and prayers go out to a friend in need of all the love and support she can get today, and if you have just a brief free moment, I ask you to send up a prayer as well. Please. Her Husband Is being taken off of Life Support tonight. After hitting his head in a fall, resulting in a stroke, he has a massive brain bleed and has not been able to wake up, is not breathing on his own and has had no signs of responsiveness in any way. Taking him off of life support is NOT a decision being made by my friend, it was made by his immediate family...and thus, the poor woman is falling apart...teetering somewhere on a fine line between trying to get a grasp on this being reality and and feeling as if this is some horrendous, surreal nightmare. I, personally, can not begin to fathom the emotions swirling around her on this day. The severity, and gravity of the situation and of the events taking place today....overwhelm and deeply sadden me. I want to be here for her. I want to help her in any way possible, but I realize that nothing I can do could really ease her pain. Such a tragic and sudden shock..really brings certain things to light. Make sure you let the people in your life know how much you love them. In just a split seconds time...they can be ripped from your life without warning or preperation. We should all learn to let the little things go..wouldnt it be easier to swallow your pride or have to say Im sorry, or ignore something unimportant that simply irritates you.....than to accept that the last words or thoughts you had for someone you care deeply about, were negative? Or God forbid, words you wish you could take back..? I want to be someone who focuses on the positive. Lets things roll off my back. Picks my battles with careful thought and consideration...choosing not to fight or argue or be angry, as often as I can. I cant wrap my head around this situation...or the thought of loosing someone you love so tragically and suddenly. Waking up one day as if it were any other day and having your entire life shatter...out of nowhere. Please take a second to say a little prayer for this woman...I can not imagine how much she needs it.
