Just got the phone call I have been expecting with the news that we have lost another client. We had planned a farewell party for him for last Tuesday, but he wound up in the hospital, so we postponed it for a few days. This is never easy, these parties, but it gives us all a chance to say goodbye. Missed this one.
Why is it when that phone call comes, it is always a surprise? We were expecting it, we knew it was coming, but just not today and not this early in the morning. And why is it that when it comes the first response is to find someone to hold me when I cry? I am a strong woman, and I know other strong women, and yet that is the first thing we want; someone to hold us.
So, failing in that, because there is definitely a shortage of arms around here, I must do the next thing, and that is to rage. Rage against the unfairness of life, rage against a young life cut short, and rage that our government, our churches, the hierarchy of the world can do nothing about this damn disease that steals our people while the population in general thinks we have actually found a cure for this. Rage while our young people have unprotected sex, because it can not happen to them!
Right now my mind is a dither, and I just wanted you to know some of my feelings at this moment. You have all been there so I am sure you understand. Just want you all to take the time to turn to someone and tell them you love them. Tomorrow is another day and you may not get the chance. And remember in spite of it all, God is good and his arms are always there for me.
