Oh my, Pat_B. I wish I cold post something really uplifting to offset all that sadness...but I can't seem to even write at the moment. It's part of all our lives, isn't it - the sad days, the happy days? One thing - it sure reminded me to say thanks that all my children and grandchildren are here and healthy!

It feels like it's been one of those times
I went to the funeral of a friend the other week, a writer friend who was always so close to having the big break, and even had a movie made but red tape or something meant it was never seen, and I wished people could see it. Then an old friend's mother died and I couldn't get to the funeral but had dinner with the old friend the day after and it was the right thing to do.
There is some good news out there too or will be. It's just sometimes the bad is in the foreground.
But yes it's hard when you're having a child and you know the grandparent will never meet the child and the child will miss out. It was the first thing I thought about when my Dad was dying and one of the first things I thought when the children came along. Love is all.
