Rough Weekend By Proxy… Update.

And now there is a fourth. Another on my team had his grandmother placed in hospice this weekend after a battle with cancer. He and his family are there with her now as her time remaining with them is almost over.

On a more positive note, the teammate who's child was close to death after a serious automobile accident has taken a turn for the better. The swelling in her brain has started to go down, and today she was taken off the coma inducing medications.

Until next time...

Rough Weekend By Proxy

It has been a rough weekend for three of my fellow teammates at the OGRE:
One had a parent die.
One had his spouse die.
One is close to having a child die after a serious automobile accident.

What feelings I have in my heart go out to each of them and their families. I can't even begin to imagine what thoughts must be going through their heads and what pain must be going through their hearts.

I find in reflecting that the three closest relationships many people have—a parent, a spouse, a child—were affected this weekend.

Things to ponder.

Until next time...

Too Much Food After Midnight

How come I get in trouble when I want to do stuff like this?

Until next time...

Are you Pondering what I’m Pondering?

I am drawn to something about this photo, but I am not sure what or why.

Is he getting dressed, or undressed?
Is he pondering something he just did, or is about to do?

Until next time...

A Thank You…

I wanted to say a quick "Thank you" to all those who read and commented on my last post. I am working through your comments and replying to each of you.

It's ended up being a little more of an emotional experience than I expected it to be and taking me longer to do it. But I am.

Until next time...
