It's a small world after all...

I am so excited that I have tomorrow off of the senior center because of Good Friday!! I am ready for a mental health day. I have been the substitute for the Meals on Wheels coordinator there for the two weeks she's been on vacation. The site manager is the person who would under normal circumstances cover for her, but she has been deathly ill with pneunmonia. So they flot me around to fill the gaps. Nice to know I'm needed.

I had to work tonight of all nights at Alanta Bread. It's Maudy Thursday and it would have been nice to have been able to go to church. Tara had a funeral to go to and the other night shift supervisor is in Flordia (i'm trying not to be jealous). Dom didn't want to work a 14 hour day, and I don't blame him.

It was really cool that I worked though. Because I don't normally work on Thursdays, tonight I worked with this girl, Libbi, she usually works Thurdays. I remember her mentioning before her knowing a man who had a brain tumor, but tonight she mentioned him again, saying she was going to take the left over cookies to his family. I told her I also know a man who is dying from a brain tumor also. Immediatly her eyes widened and she asked me his name. I said Jeff and she knew right away it was Jeff Dean!!!

How amazing is that?? All this time I worked with someone who has been in contact with the Dean family and I didn't even know it. We talked about the family and how we knew them for a while. She is consistantly praying that God works a miracle in Jeff's life. I told her about the prayer chain we have for him and how we just mostly at this point are very concerned for his salvation.

I have been just so tossed around by the fraility of life especially this past week. Things like the persistant media coverage on the Terri Schrivo case, and talking with a friend of the family for almost 6 hours last night who unexpectectatly lost her husband 6 months ago to a silent heart attack. I have nearly been moved to tears. I just feel so helpless and sad for all these people who are losing people they love and can do nothing about it but just that God has control and has a purpose. It is just so hard to watch someone deteriorate like that. And to grieve with someone who has to bear the pain of losing a loved one.

Well that being said, I think I am going to give my brain a rest and vegg out infront of the tv or watch a movie until I fall asleep.
