Life can be Bittersweet

[mad4maduro]

Hi folks...I'm having somewhat of a "strange" day thus far. I am struggling a lil with some emotions as I have had an extremely emotionally draining month. My wife’s grandfather passed away and she had it a li’l rough for a bit. A week later, my brother-in-law had another heart procedure, the same day, my mom went in to the hospital because her epiglottis was so swollen she was rendered unable to swallow or to breathe. She was also found to have some pneumonia. She is still there and because she has multiple sclerosis, she is in a weakened and perpetually compromised state. She had an overwhelming feeling the other night that it was her time to go and she was scared and said a prayer asking God not to take heer yet because she needs to see/speak to us kids, dad, etc....she reports feeling much stronger following that prayer and improved slightly the next day but is going back downhill. The scary thing is that because of the MS - any stupid thing can become fatal.
Anyway - despite all that I have just expressed, I am truly blessed in so many ways and life is good.
Thanks for providing a place for me to express my feelings. Love yas all!
