I have spent the last two days basically in shock after learning of a friend of ours that had knee surgery. Following the surgery she had a blood clot go through her heart and to her lungs (and probably other places) and is currently in the hospital with no brain function while her family comes from around the world to say good-bye.
This was a vibrant woman that was a great science teacher and outdoors woman. She is highly thought of by everyone in the community where they live. She is married to one of my good friends and they have five grown daughters. The daughters are also awesome.
I know there is a better place after this life but this little episode has shaken me pretty badly. It shows that life is so fragile---we never know what is next---we should all strive to live so that our parting does not leave others wondering how we really felt about life and the people in ours. I do not believe this woman has anyone in her life that did not know where they stood.
I HOPE I CAN ASSURE THAT THOSE IN MY LIFE ALSO KNOW AND I THANK HER FOR THAT THOUGHT.

And I keep thinking about living so that I find approval from God when I cross over.
Sad story.
God needed her more I guess. Sorry to hear about this.
