simply

We've had a couple of scary days that started on Tuesday with a phone call from Stick saying, "I'm on my way to hospital". 3 days later, after 1 ER visit, 1 Neurologist visit, countless buckets of tears, and lots of phone calls, ALL is well. Simply a migraine gone bad.

It made me realize, we just don't know. We don't know what will happen tomorrow, or even next. I've always known this, but the experiences of this week brought this idea very close to home. Driving to the hospital, as I looked at the others on the freeway around me, I wondered, "What is happening in their lives that is devastating?" Sitting in the ER listening to another woman sobbing in the room behind me, I thought about all the pain experienced on a daily basis by people all over the world. I know that I need to do better at cherishing the small things. Because simply, we just don't know.
