AT PEACE I GUESS
I spoke to my hubby tonight at supper. I talked to him about my concerns about going home for a visit. He said that he was also concerned but he wouldn’t go home. He feels that he cannot cope with the change in weather. I believe him because last time we went home he got a bad cold. Also a sinus infection.
I decided that there is rally nothing I can do. This is my SIL’s and friend’s "cross to bear." I mean they have to go through this and if I went into town for a few days it wouldn’t be much help. My very sick friend might not want anyone to see her. I did call a good friend of hers here to see what she thinks. I spoke to my SIL and right now she is "OK!" So I am at peace. I am not going back home right now. My daughter did call my SIL and might go visit tomorrow. I’ll see what she says. I guess everyone gets their "turn" of problems and people can support each other at times. BUT STILL the person just has to live through whatever it is.
So I will continue to stay in Florida and enjoy.
Yesterday I bought a lot of Hanukah presents for my grandchildren. Now to get them mailed.
I also played MAH JONGG and even won a few hands. At night we just stayed home.
No plans for the weekend. Maybe I’ll make some tomorrow.
Back to bed.
sounds like you’ve made the right decision. take care,

I agree, going home for a few days wouldn’t really be that much help; people still have the burdens that they have, and you have to live your own life….you can’t just always be “there” for everyone else. hugs, Nicky

I had to do a little back-reading to catch up. It is so difficult not knowing what to do when someone is ill or in the hospital. I know from first-hand experience that your e-mails and cards will mean just as much, or even more, than a visit. Especially to the family. Knowing that our loved ones have friends who take the time write a note or send a card is infinitely reassuring and comforting. *hugs* to you. I’m so sorry about your friend.
