Ick. Blech. Ug.
I’m sick. It feels like I swallowed razor blades.
Krista has been gone a week tomorrow. Her funeral was yesterday. It was beautiful. A perfect tribute to a truly amazing woman, wide, mother, coach, teacher and friend. I was sniffly, but alright. Until I saw her children walk in holding her husband’s hands. Then I hyperventilated. It’s absolutely unimaginable. Because of their strong faith, they will make it and they will make it well, but still…
On Wednesday, another young woman I used to work with in my pre-teaching life passed away due to pregnancy complications. Another blood clot. The same thing that took our beautiful Krista.
It sure makes you feel fragile and weak and out of control when things like this happen.
Monday will be a year since my Dad passed away.
And now, to top it all off, I’m sick.
Woe is me.
(Not really. I’m just glad to be alive enjoying a long weekend with my family.)

oh my goodness, that is so sad. It scares me to know that it could happen to me, very soon. I certainly hope that I don’t get one, for whatever reason that people do and that all is okay. I’m sending my thoughts to your friends’ family. How terribly sad.
Question, because I’m pregnant and often times stupid when it comes to these things.. is it because of lack of movement? For example, would it have helped if they were to have walked around more or is it just one of those things that can happen after birth?

I’m thinking your body is reflecting your heart and your mind. I always get sick when I feel the worst emotionally. I hope you are feeling better in all ways soon. “all will be well, and all will be well, and every kind of thing will be well’ Julian of Norwich
