Today I should be on Day 3 of the blog challenge. It's just not gonna happen. I'm supposed to be writing about my parents but I just don't have the emotional energy to give them the time and effort they so deserve. Hopefully ttomorrow I can tackle trying to sum up my parents in a blog post...not sure that's even possible.
To say that I am emotionally drained is an understatement! I saw clients at the office this morning and checked facebook after I left only to read of the passing of "Superman." The tears began to flow immediately and my heart sank. I feel like my emotions have taken over. It may seem strange to some that I'd have such a strong reaction to the illness and death of someone I don't know. But after following his journey and seeing not only the amount of people who surrounded him but the type of people that surrounded him, I can't help but feel sad for so many that loved him. Not only that, it's just difficult to think about this amazing man being taken so early and leaving behind two adorable, young children and a wife that seems just as incredible as he was.
I pulled myself together andI went back to the office this evening to see more clients. I get home and check email, only to find an email from a client's sister to let me know that my client was in a horrible accident December 18th. She's just been transferred from Grady ICU to Shepherd Spinal Center and is dealing with a traumatic brain injury. Once again, I am slapped in the face with the reality that all any of us have are moments, the ones that we are presently in and the next one isn't promised nor is it guaranteed to be what we expect!
I'll go to bed tonight in prayer for all those affected by the loss of "Superman" and for my client as she puts all her physical and mental energy into her own healing process.

I don't think anyone expects you to make a blog appearance every single day. With, what I would assume to be, an emotionally draining career and investment to your clients, a family with two young kids, we understand. And I think most of us understand your emotions to someone you don't know. You (we) empathize with that family and can easily apply the "what if" to your own life. That is enough to send me into an emotional breakdown. :)
Thanks Trina! Your words are always so kind. Thanks for taking the time to read:)
