heavy-hearted

When it rains, it pours....

First I received news that a long-time friend's sister gets diagnosed with tumor and had to undergo surgery and several radiation therapy...

The month of July begins and brings to mind both a pleasant and grave thought.... a very dear friend and whose birthday is on the 10th but for 4 consecutive years had received a call from me on the 17th (just because I could never get her birthdate right and I thought I would this year), is also observing her dad's first death anniversary...

A girlfriend rushed grandma to ER recently after witnessing her collapse from bleeding so much, the toilet floor was covered with a carpet of blood...

Yet another friend has lost her newborn to birth defects, unknown to her until the she delivered. The baby's birth and demise, unknown to me weeks after her funeral and cremation...

And now, explosions in Central London that's left me worried about good friends over there and restless just anticipating the next move of these bombers...

To say that I'm petrified is an understatement.

God be with us all.
