I guess it seems like you have days where you are just absolutely miserable and just wish you could get away from it all...and not worry about a thing in the world and then something hits you like a TON of bricks.

A customer of ours went into the hospital on Thursday. He's a pretty nice guy, average Joe, hard worker, close family. Turns out he has a spot on his liver. They do a "biopsy" (to me, when I hear that word, my heart sinks...) on it and it turns out that he has aggressive cancer and there is no treatment for it. His best chance of survival is a transplant!!
WHAT!?!
Last week he was fine?!
He has a wife, and two small children.
It sure makes those petty things that you bicker with your children/spouse about seem so insignificant!
This morning I got into it with my daughter 'cause she was whining...that gets on my last nerve and it seems like lately she has been doing more of it than ever. But, I snapped at her and hurt her feelings and then felt bad afterward. Now I really feel bad. I think I could just lay my head down on my desk and cry because I am so fortunate that I am healthy and my husband is healty and we have two beautiful, healthy children. What right do I have to gripe and complain about anything!?
We should all be so lucky, right?!

Anyhow, I just want any of you reading this blog to say a small prayer for my friend, Brian Hayes and his family. They are all nice folks and we hope for some small miracle that will make Brien all better again, and the family can breathe a sigh of relief.
