Notes About The Poem

A couple people, I know, are going through serious and devastating suffering. One classmate who lost her granddaughter in infancy, just lost the same daughter to cancer. Her daughter left behind her husband and three teen girls. Another friend has a husband in the hospital for 2 1/2 weeks thus far. Send a prayer for them.

Those who are doing the suffering, must be in such deep grief right now. We can't really know though unless we have been there in that same situation and even then, we don't know or cannot understand what they are going through. I am praying right now for God's touch to help them through it. Sara K

It is happening all over. Especially to younger people more than ever. I will say no more. Anyway, this is a great footle, Kim.
