I’ve been mulling over what to write today, after such a tumultuous and emotional weekend. I’ve decided to simply share this short note I posted on Facebook late last night:
Such an unbelievable last few days.
One minute I was celebrating the birth of a friend’s baby and holding this tiny (4 lbs. 12 oz), perfect little boy in my arms. Then, minutes later, on leaving the hospital, I learned of the end of a different friend’s too-short life.
We humans, we’re both stronger, and more fragile, than we think.
Oh, we are both stronger and more fragile than we think. What a tumultuous weekend, and what a profound reminder. My thoughts are with you and with both of your friends.
