Sad, Sad Days

I guess I am going to have to get used to death again. A couple of weeks ago, a lady I worked with at a previous job went home from work on a Friday afternoon and shot herself in the heart. She was only a couple of years older than me. She left a husband, a daughter, a grandchild......why? I do not understand. I do pray she was saved and is in heaven, out of whatever misery she was suffering. Funny how you never know what is going on with people really.

Then on Wednesday morning, I got a call from another old friend. We had not talked in a pretty good while, and somehow I knew something was wrong. She was calling to tell me that the husband of another friend had died that morning. He went to work (at the Medical Center), was walking across the parking lot and felt sick. He apparently died in the ER, from a heart attack. He had just turned 53. He was already suffering with diabetes, on dialysis, but still. He left a wife, my friend, and a 14 year old son. There were 4 of us at BCBS of GA that were pregnant at the same time. I think I delivered first, in January of 94, 7 weeks early. I think Sandy was next, then Cassandra (whose husband just died), and then Leslie. I went to the funeral home yesterday after work. It was just so sad. Cassandra was holding up pretty well, and so was Cory. It just makes you feel so helpless. I know that death is part of life, and that being in heaven with Jesus and our Father will be glorious, but it still makes me feel soooo sad.

On a lighter note, we made it through the second week of school. Dylan stayed home one day....a little bit of stomach trouble. I think it was probably nerves. He has had a hard time finding his way around. I took a map they gave him and highlighted all his classes, along with his locker and the exit for getting to the bus. I think that will help.

Logan then broke his glasses. Thank God for Pop. He paid for a spare pair till we go to his appt next month. And Logan, bless his heart, is not fussing too bad about the frames. They are gold, but they don't look too bad. Logan is so cute, I don't think it would matter what the frames looked like.
