Everyone has Something

I have been surrounded by a lot of serious stuff lately. Not because of anything special, but because that is the way life is. We all have something. And it is all relative. There is a woman who shops at our family store.....she has been trying to pick put a sofa for six months. I know it seems ridiculous but to her it is a BIG thing. It is consuming many hours of her life.

I have a son battling heroin addiction. That is my something. Another friend was just diagnosed with a life threatening pulmonary illness. That is her thing.

My Dad has been bedridden for 4 months after breaking his leg in several places and now is battling pneumonia. That is his thing. My Mother just lost her brother and cousin in the space of a couple of months. That is my Mom's thing.

How do we all deal with it. We get up...suit up ...and show up. We lean on each other for support and we keep going. We have faith that we will make it through.
