Rough Times

It has been a week of ups and downs and it is only Wednesday. Whoa!

On Monday we were given horrible medical news about a co-worker. This person has Leukemia and is leaving for 5 months to have aggressive chemotherapy. They have known for the past year. It is terminal.

Whoa! What! No! Can't be! Are you freakin' serious!

Some got up and left crying, some were in total disbelief some where reflecting back, others were stunned/shocked.

I was stunned/shocked.

Immediately another person said "we have to be positive for her/his sake". I immediately said we don't want to treat her/him any differently for the next few weeks. Let her/him be normal.

We are rallying together to put a care package together for her/him of fun, time passing things to show her/him we love her/him and will miss her/him until he/she comes back.

You just never know what another person is going through, we are so oblivious to other people's lives, it is like we all have our blinders on just trying to get through each day all by ourselves.

Keep this person in your thoughts & prayers and wish them all the positive vibes you can give. We all need it, because we do not know what each person is battling.
