This morning I woke up with a start -- I woke up a little after seven, moving over in my sleep to make room for an ambulance. I was dreaming that I was driving and I could see an ambulance in my rearview mirror -- I woke up as a "scooted over" to allow the ambulance to pass. It was then I knew that my friend J's mom had passed.
10 weeks ago she was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer -- and it is now three weeks before her first granddaughter is due. Yes, to add misery to her mom's loss, my friend J is 9 months pregnant.
I say prayers for J tonight -- and her family. May peace be with her mother.
My day started with death.
It ended with life.
I found out tonight that a dear friend and her husband are expecting. It is early in the pregnancy and I'm not allowed to announce it, but suffice to say I started and ended my day with tears. May she and her husband have a safe, healthy and happy pregnancy and a healthy baby.
Of death.
Of life.
