It is so irritating when bad things happen to perfectly nice people. When I returned from Mississippi I found that Susan fell and broke her pelvis. She was taking her son's dog for a walk. The dog jerked her arm, she fell and ended up stretched out on a driveway unable to get up. Her son and grandson had just left to drive to the west coast, just about one year after his wife died. So here is Susan watching after the dog and now she is unable to stand. Fortunately her cell phone summoned help. Now she is healing and after a few more weeks will be fine.
Then I was upset to be told that the husband of the very nice folks we dined with last Friday has been diagnosed with Altzheimer's disease. On the way home on Friday evening Ken remarked that Judd was having trouble with his memory and mental functions, but that it was not readily evident. But I was informed yesterday that indeed, two years ago he had been told the bad news. What a blow to the family, especially the wife. The next ten years will be very difficult for everyone involved. I feel so badly for them both.
We must remember to count our blessings every day!!
