Reminder

As I drove through grief from a third death in a month It felt like a tornado, that would not stop Then I saw a man on the side of the road He had crutches and only one leg The gratitude for my legs merged with sadness Remember, it could always be worse! Heidi Sands 4/4/22

Clearly, that man was there for you at that moment with a clear message, one which you were wise enough to take to heart. Chin up! :) gw

So sad Heidi, sorry to hear you've lost people close to you. When you see someone less mobility than yourself you have to count your blessings. Tom
