...of getting bad news!!!!
About a month ago, I received news that a good friend I'd known since childhood died back home in Arkansas. Since I found out after the fact, I have no idea what happened. All I know is he's dead.
Then 2 weeks ago, another really good friend from back home, that I've known for 25 years, was killed in a car wreck. He used to be the stage manager for a band I was in. We became very close friends. He and his family were hit head-on. He was killed and his wife and daughters are in critical condition.
Late last night, my brother phoned me. His wife, my sister-in-law has breast cancer. It's really bad and has spread throughout her chest and is probably already to her lymph nodes. I didn't know what to say except, "Oh no!" and "I'm sorry".
I'm the older brother. I'm supposed to be the one who possesses all the words of wisdom. The one that knows what to say in a bad situation. The fact is, I'm numb. I DON'T know what to say. The past month has handed me a lot of terrible news. If it weren't for Christy, life would really suck right now.
Thanks for allowing me to rant for a moment.
