So I haven't really had anything on my mind that I thought was worth writing.....until now. I was so blessed today to spend some time with my very dear friend Sissy Suz. Sissy and her husband are in the process of moving to Payson. Her kids and grand kids are all in Payson and it just makes sense they should be there. God has blessed them with an awesome house there. On my way over I was overcome with a real sense of sadness. I knew when I walked into the all familiar house that I have spent soooo much time in that I would cry. Just like I am now as I write this. And I did !!! I hugged my sissy and held on for a few moments as I sobbed.
I am not loosing Suz but I guess the thought of not being able to just pick up and go see her seems dismal at the least. I actually have been through a very similar situation before and I think that brought up some old emotions.
Then there is Japan. I feel like how can I be sad or feel like I have been dealt a bad hand. What if you were a brand new mommy and a huge earthquake came and rocked your world. I keep seeing a new mom trying to survive under the circumstances I have seen in Japan. I can't even wrap my head around it. How overwhelming, devastating, hopeless, and desperate would I be. Can you even think of how anyone over there is even coping with that huge disaster. It just blows my mind. Every second of every day I am so blessed. I have a roof over my head and food in my refrig, I have a beautiful grandson and I know right where he is. I don't have to search under piles of broken homes. It really makes me think. It makes everything seem so small compared to that.
That is where faith would have to come in and take over. What other choice would you have. All I can say is be thankful...very very very thankful. And then be thankful again. Our hard times are never going to compare to that new mom that can't find diapers, food, a warm dry bed, or clean clothes and blankets for her baby.
It makes my cancer look like a common cold.
