It has been a long day

Today I went to bring a good friend and co-worker to visit her Aunt in Sewell, NJ. Her Aunt is in the end stages of cancer. She has a tumors on her brain and also in her pancreas and one other organ (I am not sure which). She reminded me a lot of my Grandma when she was first starting the decline. This woman was aware and could speak, but somehow was not all there and was rather detached. My friend Bea probably would not have made the trip alone and I really felt for her.

Another sad note. The husband of a good friend of my Mother in law passed away this morning. Tom was not doing well for sometime. Willie, his wife (Wilma), had been keeping friends and family updated via email. I did not know them well. Willie was at my baby shower, as was Tom if I remember correctly.

Please keep these folks in your thoughts this holiday season.
