I wish I had something upbeat or sexy to write about right now but I don't.

I am sitting by the phone waiting for a phonecall that I just don't want to hear. My best friend has had so much tragedy in so short a time, I am afraid to see her name on my caller ID as I know it will be news of yet more hearbreak for her. This past Wednesday her father passed away, and she has been trying to cope with that loss and help her mom cope as well. Her mother is spiraling into dementia, and is not easy to deal with and is having a hard time grasping the fact that her husband is gone. This morning Sheryl called me in tears to tell me that her brother is going in for emergency surgery as he has a blood clot, and the doctors do not give him much hope for surviving the procedure. While she was moving her dad to hospice, her brother suffered a severe heart attack. She is getting her mom ready to go and head out to the hospital. I feel so fucking helpless. I can't do anything to make this go away for her or anything to make it all better. There is no silver bullet. All I can do is sit and wait and hope against hope that she won't have to bury both a father and a brother in the space of a week. I am terribly sad and depressed right now, as Sheryl is like a sister to me and I just can't stand to see the people I love hurting. Please if you read this, take the time to tell the people you love that you love them as they can be gone in the blink of an eye


Puurrs to all,
