I still feel ill…

… but while I was sorting through some mundane tasks today — programming the oven to self clean and organizing the reupholster of Granddads favourite chair— I got a message that has left me reeling. A dear friend reached out to tell me that her eldest son was in a head-on collision last night. He’s suffered serious injuries and spent most of the night in surgery. He’s now in ICU, heavily sedated.
I’m in shock. I feel helpless and can’t stop the tears. I don’t know what to do except send all my love and prayers their way, and be ready to help however I can.
