Breathe
We can all know and experience how very short life is, that it is but a breath- here and gone. That knowledge can creep in and become more real than we would like it to from time to time. I found out yesterday that my youngest brother's diagnosis of liver disease has become liver cancer of which there is no hope and that he has a very short time to be with us. I ache for my Mother who will bury a second child, I cry for the wife to be left alone, for the kids to soldier on, and the grandchildren yet to come. I selfishly feel bad for myself, and for the only brother who will be left. I even feel so badly for his dog Yogi, that dog is crazy about his daddy. It seems odd that the last post here was "Smiles"...... so quickly life can change!
I want to write about wedding cakes and flowers, about reception venues and bridesmaids but today I just can't. I know you get it.
Count your blessings.................... and pass one on.
