Dec. 1st, 2014 06:33 pmIt's been a difficult week.
In the last few days two people I care about have died. I was not especially close to either of them, but I had known both of them for many years (one was my cousin), and they were beloved by many people in my family and community.
I have been obsessing about several upsetting/infuriating current events.
Another friend found out a few days ago that she has a mass in her brain. She is having brain surgery on Monday. This morning her husband posted a funny "whistling in the dark" message on social networks and wished everybody a happy Thanksgiving. If he can do it, so can I.
Happy Thanksgiving!
Update, December 1: Just got word that my friend is out of surgery, conscious, and verbal. No word yet on what kind of tumor it was, but the surgery is reported to have gone well, which I hope means they got everything. Phew!
