Challenges...............

I have recently learned that the son of a dear friend has been in a terrible
motorcycle accident. All this happened in late July and a long, long recovery
is now in process. The siblings have rallied in support. The wife and children
are actively assisting in this healing process. But like everything, the challenges are huge. 


The mother was a dear and long friend of mine. She passed away a few years ago. Sometimes it is a blessing for a mother not to have to see a son so
afflicted. But her gifts to her children as mother and mentor are helping
them cope and actually more than cope, but be present with one another and share all that comes with a long and complicated recovery. There is a special light here. 


In the face of such events, one wonders about one's own family and friends if a sudden catastrophe should develop. And then one hopes and therefore must
trust that there will be people to be present with you as work for fullness
again.


I am both sad and hopeful.
