April 4, 2016. Madison, Mississippi. My Friend Sara Lou.

I wonder why bed things always come in bunches?   Or does it?  Always seems so to me.  Poor friend Sara Lou was finishing up at Brad's house prior to returning to Maryland when she fell on the bottom step and broke her shoulder.  Here she is, all by herself in a place she knows very few people and she must go to the hospital.  Being resilient, she called 911 and was taken to an emergency room where X-rays were taken and the shoulder put into a sling with directions to return home to Maryland the next day.

Now she has a big problem because she is in Charlotte with her own car and she can not drive.  Her daughter Lee can not get away to help, but friend Susann H. steps up to the plate.   Shy flies to Charlotte and the next day drives them both back home.  Isn't there something about a friend in need being a friend indeed!!  That is a wonderful example.

Now in addition to dealing with all the details around son Brad's death, Sara Lou must contend with being  housebound  in her own home but unable to do much of anything.  She is still wearing the same shirt she was wearing when she fell last Thursday.   Fortunately, she has good friends who will help.  I wish her well but these next few weeks will try her soul.  But as Susan K. says, Sara Lou must try to find the gold along her path.  I feel sure she will.
