Had trouble finding the right words today. Wanted to send a sympathy card to Rena, a friend I've worked with on and off for years in the Plainfield School System, and her husband. Their 40 year old daughter-in-law died unexpectedly Wednesday. She leaves her husband, Rena's only child, and their only grandchild, a girl, who is about 10 years old. It hits home when young people die. I did make a card and find some words but how can you possibly console someone who's lost so precious a woman, who was a great part of their lives for so short a time. It hits too close to home; helps you understand that you must be thankful every day for the life you share with your family, friends and acquaintances.
4 degrees out this morning but the roads are clear so I expect we'll head out to Arturo Joe's for dinner early this evening. I'm looking forward to it. We haven't been out "fancy" and just the two of us in quite a while.
