Life is fragile

It's been a long while since I have posted to this blog!!

The last two weeks have brought home how fragile life is to me.

While at the hospital working, I went to run an errand and ran into my friends Gregg and Kathy. We used to be tight with this couple. When DH and I first got together as a couple we had a fight and broke up. Gregg went to my DH and talked to him about our relationship. The rest is history...we got married and are raising a beautiful family together..

Kathy it turns out was scheduled to have surgery for Ovarian Cysts.When I got off work, I went up to her room and we caught up on each others lives. You see Gregg and Kathy had moved away from our small town 9 years ago and even though we had the best of intentions we lost touch with each other.

The next day, I sat with Gregg in surgery waiting while he waited to go see his beloved wife. He cried and held my hand when they told him the cyst was cancer and she would have to undergo Chemo,and how the surgeons hoped they had gotten it all.

Funny how life just brings you into the right place at the right time... I just happened to go through the admissions lobby at the exact time Kathy was checking in... I am pretty sure that God put me there so Gregg would see a friend when he needed one the most..

My friend Kathy is only 47. She has two wonderful children and the most devoted husband in the world. She has a grandbaby on the way...

Life is fragile and we should all remember to thank God for it. I hope everyone will join me in praying for my friend Kathy and her life.
