Last week my brother-in-law Ralph died. I'm not all broken up about it because I never met him. But I do email his wife frequently which is George's sister. So I do feel bad for her. And he seemed like a really sweet man.
My friend and coworker had a pulmonary embolism and could have died. She spent 5 days in the hospital. That was scary.
My other friend, and coworker lost her father on Friday. This is doubly sad because she lost her mother only a couple of months ago.
Another friend is having trouble with her heart. And her husband just got a job in North Dakota and moved away and didn't really say he wanted her to join him. Her father just died a couple months ago. Her mother is screwed up in a nursing home.
Another friend has a family member addicted to meth and this family member tried to OD yesterday at her house. Had to call 911.
And then......... the plane above. Yet ANOTHER coworker who I work closely with, had his mom, dad and sister in that plane. They survived only by the goodness of good samaritans who saw it happen and rushed to pull them out of the burning wreckage. All three broke their back and are in critical condition in area hospitals.
My company is having really horrible problems. Threats have been made against it. We had to install cameras inside and outside of the building.
Hurricanes headed toward Hawaii last week and I was stressed out about George and his safety. Thankfully his island just got some wind and rain but nothing major.
My son broke up with his girl. I know his heart is breaking. He has secluded himself in his mancave and that makes me nervous.
Robin Williams passed away. Suicide. Depression. Very tragic and sad and shocking.
My sweet sis in law had to start chemo AGAIN. And they are planning to move across country. I can't imagine what she is going through.
And my son and his wife and my unborn grandbaby moved away.... which is a happy thing in some ways but also a sad thing in other ways. I just wish we were only a couple hours drive away.
Wow.
Lots of crap.
Let's hope it gets better soon. Not sure how much more of this I can take. I know that most of it does not directly affect me. But I feel the pain of others. If I know my son is hurting... I feel it. If I know my daughter-in-law is homesick and scared.... I feel for her. If I know that coworkers are in shock and dealing with horrific events.... I put myself in their shoes and I feel the pain. I try not to, but it is my nature to be like that.
I worry about my job. I worry about my health. I am just a worrier. Like my mom. Heaven help me. LOL.
It will get better. I'm sending positive vibes to the universe. And many, many prayers to the heavens for all of these people.
