I’m not going into details, but this has been a terrible week for me, my family and if I want to be fair, for the country and maybe even the world. But it hit very hard for this family.
I’m not going to give you details. I was thinking about it but it’s too personal and it isn’t just about me. I don’t feel comfortable talking about it. At least not yet. Maybe later. Just letting you know that sometimes, the news is all bad and there’s nothing you can do to make it better.
Wanting doesn’t make it happen. This is one of those times.

I feel a great sadness and fatalism, or is it resignation? in your words. Sometimes ‘stuff’ happens and with our best intentions there’s nothing we can do to help or make it better. So, I ‘just’ wish you strength and courage to bear whatever it is that weighs so heavy on your hearts. I’m with you in thoughts.

We are coping and that seems to be all we are able to do. You can’t fix everything no matter how hard you try.

Thank you. I know it will pass — everything does — but it’s hard to know exactly when. In the meantime, there’s little for anyone to do except wait.

I hope it’s not a long wait for you!

I’m afraid that this time, there is nothing ANYONE can do. It’s too late, but thank you for the offer.

Oh my…I hope it is not health related.
I also hope it doesn’t seem as dark in a day or two.

Definitely health and absolutely terminal. AND too late to do much besides wait. NOT me or Garry.

Time will bring it to an end, but meanwhile, there’s nothing more to do but wait. It’s not me or Garry, but it’s close to home.

Hi Marilyn, I am very sorry to read this. I haven’t been tracking US or other news as my son has been in hospital but my thoughts are with you 💗

Well someone (not me, not Garry) is in the hospital but unlikely to come out again. Nothing left to do but wait.

Thank you. It’s a waiting game. I hope not a very long waiting game. Not me, not Garry, but close to home and no cures in the wind.

You know, life’s path is filled with good, bad, tragic … and that is what life is. I suppose if there’s one thing about getting old is that whatever is happening, you’ve got some experience that helps you cope. I suppose there’s got to be some advantages, but this one is a cold one.

Yes, what happens to us in life is beyond our control. We can cope the best we can.

Marilyn, thinking of you and your family. Your statement about “wanting” doesn’t make it happen is a universal truth at times, sadly. Take it gently as you and your family nerd and want.

Aargh auto correct strikes again. That was supposed to be “need” and not “nerd.” Why oh why won’t WordPress give us an edit window for comments?!?!?

I don’t know. WordPress is so busy fixing things that don’t need fixing, yet never gets to fixing those things that could USE fixing.
We are now in “waiting” mode. Garry and I are fine, but it’s close to home and sad.

I’m so sorry about the sadness. If there’s anything I can do to help, please let me know. And about WP? Seems like “new bugs for old.” I’m sure you know that from your tech writer days.

It’s not even new bugs for old. It’s the same old bugs they never fixed in the first place.

It feels like a rerun. Been here before, just different people. Ironically, not the one would have expected, either. Thank you for your thoughts. Really. Waiting is what’s left.
